What is hope?

Readers Favourite 5 star review: Philip Van Heusen

Dr. Ellen Paton helps children understand the concept of hope through her book The Hope Seed. While reading this book, your child will be introduced to several different animals and aspects of hope. The illustrations by Shayna Renee Olivier will help to keep your child's interest. It also provides an opportunity to spend time discussing hope with your child and what it means to them. Help them understand that hope may change over time, and their understanding will grow and change as they become older. Having spent over forty years in my counseling office, I know that hope is the one ingredient everyone needs to survive. Give your child the gift of hope!
