You want to share with your children the values that you have learned or were taught. I found it very difficult to talk to my young children about the essential but abstract virtues of truth, the differences between kindness and courtesy and others. This wonderful book gives you clear descriptions,

examples, ways to tell when you are doing it. I cannot describe how useful and uplifting it was to share these virtues with my son. We both grew in the process.
