I wish to quote “In Praise of Slow” in a forthcoming book on the need for kindness and grace amidst the rush of modern life.
However, I seem unable to email you, as I have neither Outlook nor Gmail.
Please email me and I’d be delighted to explain more.

Best wishes,

Alicia Young

Thanks for writing!

I am a retired Kindergarten teacher of 30 years and I totally agree that children need to be children, to explore. take risks and experiment.

Praises to you!!!

Starve us enough we will still pay for it.
