Its gravity stabilized the Earth's orbit, and, as it once guided evolution, its tide stirring up nutrients that fostered complex life, it now influences everything from animal migrations and reproduction to the movements of plants' leaves.

We feel virtuous when we wake up at dawn to get a jump on the day. We put others' needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary.

It begins with believing your child CAN learn and WANTS to learn, and that you (yes, you) can trust yourself to lead the way. This book provides...
