A spiral of knowledge means first warming to a subject, knowing it in the body, staying curious, and deepening understanding over time. Information alone shuts a window on wonder.
Carol Toole, What Is This Childhood?
What Is This Childhood?
This book explores the consciousness of the young child through language development, often in their own words. The child’s early utterances reveal a unity of word and experience and of experience and meaning. Children live more fully in perception than conception. Yet, speech as it unfolds eventually leads the child to abstraction, self-consciousness, and critical thinking. This journey into childhood will deepen the quality of our attention and presence in each moment, enlivening our speech and interactions and thereby preserving our children’s sense of wonder and spiritual connection.

Tara’s Spring Wish
This book celebrates the abundance of springtime and a child’s love for all things newborn. A little girl wants something of nature to take home, but discovers that restoring a bit of nature to its rightful place is more joyous! The story was inspired by the author’s own memories of longing to nurture young creatures, along with an experience of guiding a lost baby duckling back home.
