All about Children

Sometimes we look at everyday things as ordinary. But bedtime, mealtime, and other common activities can be much more. They can be learning experiences.

All about Children is a children's companion book to My Children's Children: Raising Young Citizens in the Age of Columbine, providing stories, illustrations, and activities on how people can work together to help each other.

In their book All about Children, author Robert A. Saul, MD and illustrator Jan Yalich Betts provide material that can be enjoyed on multiple levels. It can be enjoyed purely for the illustrations, which demonstrate activities that encourage parents and their children to do positive things that can improve people's lives and the life of their communities. It can be enjoyed for the combination of words and pictures and the messages noted. And it can be enjoyed as a picture book with wonderful images that can be searched for, identified, and discussed among parents and children alike.
