Strengthening Hearts and Minds

Sharon R. Chace

Strengthening Hearts and Minds is a book of poetry that is implicitly spiritual. Without mentioning God, there is a pervading feeling that all people are equal in God's sight. Children of all backgrounds and ethnicities and with all types of interests, from basketball to art to cooking, are affirmed and therefore are strengthened in hearts and minds. This book firmly puts forth the notion that cultural diversity underscores the value of all children, and is a must-read for parents from all over the world.

Praise for this book

"Sharon Chace has the rare gifts of kindness and sensitivity. Her poems share an insight that can make the ordinary seem extraordinary, even sacred. She sees children as the greatest gift and offers a volume that is a heartfelt gift. Illustrated by her daughter Amy, Strengthening Hearts and Minds is their second book for children. The tone is gentle, and her messages are simple celebrations of the diversity of childhood experiences. Sharon offers ways for kids to understand how one develops a calm character through everyday activities. It is a needed read to help them along the journey of growing up in a chaotic and hyper-stimulated world."
