These quotes and quips are just the kind of things I want my middle school students to be thinking about. I love using them as writing prompts. The collection is the perfect combination of wit and wisdom.

Daily inspirational books take many forms. You’ve seen the page-a-day calendar offerings at bookstores during the holiday season. You’ve seen all manner of religious devotionals specialized for people from all ages and walks of life. Even my yoga teacher reads daily from Meditations from the Mat. But this book, geared for children, is just a little different.

A secular, personal development book written for children by two of juvenile fiction’s biggest names, Eileen and Jerry Spinelli, this book seems to be geared towards the 8-12 set, but it definitely has the flexibility to provide for younger kids, especially if a family project is made of it. As a homeschooling mom, I could see incorporating this into our lessons, and it would take no more than 10 or 15 added minutes to one’s day, which is a small price to pay for character building and family time.

Each daily entry begins with a quote. Today (August 21) it is “Every painting is a magic window that your own imagination can open and climb through.” It is from a book called A Quiet Place by Douglas Wood. After an appropriate quote, there is a short, 3-5 sentence blurb on the quote and it’s meaning. All of this is followed by a one or two line goal statement for the day: something to keep in mind, or a small project to do (one of the days was to go owling, another was to visit a library or bookstore). I see this book as a springboard for family discussion, not something to just tuck into a birthday present and tell the child, “well, here you go!”, because some of the blurbs are just simply too brief for the heaviness and complexity of the topic (internet safety, cigarette smoking, etc.)

I like about 90% of the entries. Some of them I feel bordered a bit on preachiness of personal habits.

We checked this book out from our library a few weeks ago and have used it every day. There are ideas and inspirational quotes/book passages each day and it has made our days more interesting. I like to make my kids think about how they go through life interacting with others and how they treat themselves and this book is awesome for just that. Can't wait to get our own copy!

I purchased this to use with my 5 year old and realize now it's more likely to be used with a tween on their own. So instead, I'm just reading it with her every night before she goes to bed and then we talk about what we can do or what we can think about or focus on for the next day. Tonight's reading was about "being hungry" and realizing there are a lot of hungry people in this world and what can she do to help or make a difference. Her answer was "give them milk and cookies". Soooo, now I have to figure out how to accomplish that one tomorrow.

What a delightful little book. So many thoughtful ideas for living happy within yourself.
I must confess I did not read the book daily, rather I read the entire book at one sitting.
Then I started on a daily basis to read each day. Every day is wonderful guide to how
improve yourself and your surroundings.
Truly a lovely book for you or a thoughtful gift for friend or family. Thank you Jeri Atkin
