Fables for Wisdom Seekers Young and Old, by Barbara A. Meyers, shares with us stories that help children deal with many of today’s issues.

Henniker, NH, USA — Barbara A. Meyers’s Fables for Wisdom Seekers Young and Old helps you guide children through many of today’s difficult issues.

Following in the legacy of teaching stories, Fables for Wisdom Seekers Young and Old invites caring adults and children ages 6-11 to explore together ideas about building self-esteem, the challenges of being a member of a family, school, and community, as well as being a citizen of the world.

Each fable is accompanied by a series of suggested talking points to support adults in deepening the story and moving it from the realm of fantasy to the everyday world of the child and reader. These conversations join the natural instincts of children – their curiosity, intuitive knowing, zest for learning, open-hearted caring, innate wisdom and joy in playing – with the wisdom adults have gained through experience. Together children and adults build a bridge to a future in which our ways of being reflect what is fair and just for all who share this planet.

“I really loved this book and can see so many possibilities of integrating it in my classroom.” ~Rogene Carter
