Enrich your life by seeing it through the eyes of a child.
Kids have a fantastic way of looking at the world, and they are kind, curious, and completely honest about the things they experience. We tend to lose those natural traits as we get older, but it doesn’t have to be that way. In Allen Klein’s new book, parents share stories of the lessons they’ve learned from their children, from the hilarious anecdotes that make you think to the out-of-nowhere, wise thoughts on modern issues.
Excerpt
WHEN I WAS writing my first book, The Healing Power of Humor, I was under a tight deadline. Kids know nothing about deadlines, so about every fifteen minutes, my daughter, who was a young teenager at the time, kept coming into my office and interrupting me. In spite of the fact that I would repeatedly tell her not to bother me, she would do so. So one day I put a big sign on the door that read: “Do Not Disturb Unless It Is an Emergency.”
No sooner had I posted it, when there was a knock on the door. I yelled in anger and asked whether it was an emergency. Sarah said it was and that she must come in and tell me something. When I opened the door and irri- tably asked what the emergency was, she replied, “I wanted to tell you that I love you!”

our book put a smile on my face. It reminded me of all the child- hood perspectives I once experienced. Sad to say as an adult I have left them behind. Your writing has truly helped me reset myself, thank you. This book will be the one I buy for friends.
