And, while on Mother Nature,  we just watched some guys from the Park District planting small saplings in the neighborhood.  They carefully covered each and put a support around it so that the sampling, as it matured would grow up straight and tall reaching its fullest potential.  What a great idea!    We have got to do the same with our children,  to embrace, nourish, encourage their imagination, to teach them basic values of love, honesty, respect, discipline, sharing and above all responsibility for his/her actions. This truly all begins at home when the child first learns to walk.  Children tend to grow up much earlier in today’s world and they do not have the liberty or leisure to enjoy the process of growing up like we did.  It does not matter how small a child is, he/she can be taught that his /her actions do have consequences, they will understand the meaning of responsibility.  


Since we at NPP are extremely partial to Nature in all of its glory, we do have that special favor for children as well.  And from that aspect, we have published our first children’s Book, titled BUFO by Terra Ciel.  A wonderfully captivating and beautifully illustrated Book. It not only soars a child’s imagination but also teaches them love and respect for each other despite being different.  Encourage children to read because reading opens up enormous vistas to a child’s imagination besides teaching them.  Check it out Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Teachers  for the children in your life.  Read it to them if they cannot, help them research the various animals, insects, solve the puzzles behind the book.  All in  all, we do highly  recommend the book. You can buy BUFO  from Amazon (just click on Bufo)
