The More We Get Together takes readers on a journey into the world of young children, inviting the grownups who love them to reconnect with memories of sitting in the kitchen or on the front porch singing songs, reading books, drawing pictures, sharing hugs, laughs, and special moments. In our hurry-up, dot-com world, such experiences provide a sense of community: it's not just about the music, the books and the crayons, but the relationships that are nurtured when we sing, read and play together. It really works! No experience or expertise required. It's all here: a resource that every parent, caregiver and teacher will want to use every day. Includes Travel CD.

STORIES TO TELL OUR CHILDREN is an anthology of stories collected from immigrants and refugee students enrolled in adult ESL programs in the United States and Canada. Each one is accompanied by activities designed to invite adults who are new users of English to respond to the stories, and to tell their own as they develop reading and writing skills.
