Strengthening Hearts and Minds is a book of poetry that is implicitly spiritual. Without mentioning God, there is a pervading feeling that all people are equal in God's sight. Children of all backgrounds and ethnicities and with all types of interests, from basketball to art to cooking, are affirmed and therefore are strengthened in hearts and minds. This book firmly puts forth the notion that cultural diversity underscores the value of all children, and is a must-read for parents from all over the world.
