Overview"What's Your Vision for a Perfect World? Recently, while doing a recycling workshop with a group of three and four-year-olds, I asked what they thought would make a perfect world. Their answers made sense to me--ice cream, pizza and chocolate. Then they tackled harder problems by coming up with great ideas to re-purpose containers often tossed away with little thought. Their ideas were bold and creative. The Perfect Gift, an interactive story, was written to remind them how special they are and the important role they play in creating a beautiful world. ""This delightful, interactive story invites readers and their parents (and grandparents, teachers, friends) to consider what makes a 'perfect world' while acknowledging it isn't always so. It encourages exploring options for less than perfect days, developing resilience and encouraging the love of family. The Perfect Gift is a great book for all ages."" --Margaret Hill-Daniels (experienced mother, grandmother and counselor) ""This is a good book because kids can draw from their imagination what a perfect world would look like. Their worlds will all be different, because all kids have different ideas in their heads. I wish I had this book."" --Lucille Williard, age 5 ""I love The Perfect Gift! The message is clear and simple enough for children yet also poignant and inspiring for adults. It explains the simple truth that, despite our best intentions, life doesn't always go as planned. The book offers space for readers to generate ideas. By following the drawing and writing prompts, readers will discover internal strengths. They will find that, when they tap the creative visions that are alive within them, they can positively change how they feel and how they react to what's going on around them. The Perfect Gift is given when this book is read and experienced together. --Jan Thrope, LSW, community activist Learn more at LaurenPersons.com" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lauren Persons , Noah HrbekPublisher: Loving Healing Press Imprint: Loving Healing Press Dimensions: Width: 20.30cm , Height: 0.60cm , Length: 25.40cm Weight: 0.358kg ISBN: 9781615997589ISBN 10: 161599758 Pages: 38 Publication Date: 01 June 2023 Recommended Age: From 5 to 7 years Audience: Children/juvenile , Children / Juvenile Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
