This series of warm, insightful essays illustrates how to instill values through example and how parenting choices and communication styles affect young children.

Based on the observations in the classic poem, each chapter relates to a verse: "If children live with sharing, they learn generosity" covers how a young child adjusts to a new baby, how we share our own time with children, and how we share with those who have less.
