Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Don't just stand there worrying about "kids today," Vollbracht urges; "Do something!" Having spent more than a decade working with kids and with adults who want to help them grow up strong and healthy, Vollbracht has plenty of anecdotes that show how much good even a small commitment of time and effort can do. The book is organized around "six circles of community": the individual, family, neighborhood, community, business and government, and elders. A chapter is devoted to each circle, telling stories; defining, for example, what a neighborhood looks, sounds, and feels like; suggesting steps people in each circle can take; and describing Vollbracht's own experiences around the country. Each chapter includes sidebars, to-do lists, quizzes, and anecdotes that will produce a chuckle or perhaps bring a tear to the reader's eye. But Vollbracht isn't moralistic in urging adults to take action: as with his own stop at the lemonade stand that gives the book its title, Vollbracht reminds readers that spending time with kids can be "the most fun I've had in a long time!"
