What is the best possible gift you can ever imagine, and who do you think gave you this gift? Think about all the wonderful things in your life and then decide what is really the mot important thing to you and why. What does Christmas mean to you? Penelope Dyan has an idea about Christmas and about Christmas gifts and she will tell you all about her ideas in this little book. Based on the concept of family and self awareness, Dyan uses her skills as a former early childhood educator to broaden the minds of little ones everywhere. Self awareness is part of any good school curriculum and young students are even tested on this subject. Common tests include draw yourself (this is where Dyan's book 'Sticks' comes in handy.) and draw your family. These tests are generally used by educators to determine reading readiness and social development, and by simply reading these books and discussing the concepts presented and encouraging your child to draw himself (or herself) and family you can give your child a head start on performance of these fundamental skill tests. This book is also suitable as a Christmas gift for any age, and is much better to give or send than a Christmas card, because this book will tell the person who received it that you really care. Dyan is an award winning writer, and an attorney, as well as a former teacher, and her love and understanding of children permeates every single one of her child sized and child friendly books. There is a reason to celebrate the Christmas season, and the gifts under the Christmas tree are only one very, very small part of the big package that makes up Christmas. Cherish every moment.
