Synopsis
An on-the-ground view of childhood through the eyes of an eccentric but devoted father and teacher in the mountains of New Mexico. Written during the first year of the Earth Children, an experimental forest kindergarten, the stories in this book will leave you laughing, surprised, and occasionally uncomfortable. The central relationship between father and daughter reveals much about the simple emotional struggles of day to day life, and the joys of being alive. Names and details in A Father's Life have been changed for privacy, but the stories are true.
