Seven Times the Sun [rare books]

"Sometimes the ordinary events in a child’s life can be difficult – a child who resists going to bed, who fusses over food, who balks at the hectic pace of family life, or dawdles at picking up toys. Mother and educator, Shea Darian, has written a unique and wonderfully creative guide to help parents and children turn these simple moments into loving, consistent daily rhythms forging a strong family bond. Seven Times the Sun is a one-of-a-kind book, full of ideas, reflections, and practical advice offering a fresh view of daily life in the home and family. Weaving songs, stories, family rituals, and verses throughout, Darian shows how to bring joy to such daily events as greeting a new day, mealtime, play, chores, healing moments, rest, peacemaking, bedtime, and personal renewal for parents. A practical, creative, and much-needed resource for parenting in the 21st century."
