“So how do we educate the heart? There are really only two ways: life experience and stories about life experience, which is called literature. Great preachers and teachers—Aesop, Socrates, Confucius, Moses, and Jesus—have traditionally used stories to get their lesson plans across, educating both the mind and the heart.”
― Jim Trelease, The Read-Aloud Handbook

― Julie Bogart, The Brave Learner: Finding Everyday Magic in Homeschool, Learning, and Life
