Praise for Everyday Virtues: Classic Tales to Read with Kids

"What a wonderful way to introduce and open a conversation on the essential elements of good character. Well done." -Kathleen Turner, Actor and Activist

"I could have used these stories with my middle school students to complement the Greek and Roman myths. I'd read, listen and tell these stories in schools, places of worship, before bedtime or while I exercise. I'd email them to my friends and colleagues." -Christie Vilsack, Former First Lady of Iowa and Senior Advisor for International Education at the US Agency for International Development (USAID)

"Hearing the voice of a trusted adult read this collection, a child could not help but engage in a dialogue about the heart and what makes us human." -Vicki Goldsmith, Former Iowa Teacher of the Year and Finalist, National Teacher of the Year
