I am a student of the author - His class, "African Spirituality and Education," has taught me some very valuable lessons about African teachings and spirituality! This book has opened my eyes to the wonder of teaching our children at early stages in their lives - definitely wished I had this kind of book when I was raising my two now-grown sons. I believe that in order for our children to learn, we must develop and create "villages" to surround them with love and knowledge, as well as teach them about their own spiritual lives. I believe that every parent should have this type of book to give them the encouragement to learn how to teach and nurture their babies from birth, so that they can learn to be productive adults. I highly recommend this book to parents and teachers!
