Synopses & Reviews
What is the best way to raise children to be conscious of the needs of others? To inspire them to go the second mile because they care; not just because someone told them to? In this bestselling treasure trove of "tough but compassionate" wisdom, Edelman answers basic questions like these in a forthright manner that has inspired millions of readers.
If the chords Edelman strikes see unusually deep, it's probably because her words are tempered by the realities of day-to-day living as seen through her own eyes (she is a mother of three) and as brought to her attention daily as America's most influential children's advocate.
