I read first read this book in its orignal edition nearly eight years ago following a workshop by E. Timothy Burns. While the writing itself is average, the content and the weaving of human aspect that creates resilient children is elegantly and simply presented. Having loaned (many times) and finally lost my original copy, I am getting myself another! This is both an inspirational and referential text. It is a little gem I have gone too long without. Any family with children, anyone working with children or adult-children, or those called upon to opine about growing up in an often harsh world should read, keep, reread, and reference this book. It is, as I have said, a little gem.
