About this listen

From one of America' s most extraordinary educators comes this guide for parents and teachers to help children achieve their dreams.

Life presents us with certain opportunities, but how we use them is what counts. As one of America' s most beloved and respected educators, Marva Collins illustrates how values help us to navigate our way. They guide us to what is important— to ourselves, to our families, to our communities, and to humankind.

Children who are to achieve their dreams need a framework of values they can rely on, a framework that is instilled with love and consistency by parents and teachers. This audiobook provides a blueprint for doing just that. Featuring anecdotes, games, poems, exercises, and proverbs, Collins inspires and motivates listeners, so that they will encourage children to learn dozens of values including confidence, determination, kindness, courage, perseverance, belief, self-reliance, and many others.

Marta Collins is one of the truly inspirational teachers of our time. She is a teacher not only for children but for adults as well. With her passing the world lost one of its truly shining stars.
Her legacy lives on though, through her audiobooks and her written works so that we all may learn how to live a better life.
