"REFLECTIONS
ON A RAINY APRIL DAY"

by
Chief Little Summer and Warm Night Rain
"Designed for children under
10, enjoyed by adults."
REFLECTIONS
is a rare book that stimulates the intellect in the very young child. Philosophy
for a 6 year old? Well, why not? Some kids come equipped with innate knowledge.
No doubt you have noticed this. So what instrument do you employ to cause
this talent to awaken?
Logic and reason are learned tools which a
child accumulates over the years. This process is normal and very valuable.
It should be patiently taught and encouraged.
Philosophical thinking is innate. With appropriate
stimulus, it can be awakened. REFLECTIONS
is just such a tool. Many parents who have scanned through
REFLECTIONS, declared it would take a 100 year old child
to understand it. After reading it to their offspring the first time, they
were amazed at the ease in which their child grasped the contents.
Small children have not yet been preconditioned
to the standards of our Culture. Their innate knowledge has not yet been
destroyed by well meaning adults. Before this happens to your pride and
joy, may we suggest you implement the opening of this door of innate knowledge,
rather than sealing it forever? This rare door in the rare child, when
stimulated, will set this child apart, and above, his peers.
The newly developing intellect is far too valuable
to limit to the conformity of the mediocre. Though contrary to popular
belief, leaders are born, not made.
REFLECTIONS
is a vehicle, in the form of a book, which feeds the unadulterated mentality
of the very young. The child you have in mind at this very moment is indeed
the child who deserves this book.
Intended for the pre-schooler, oddly enough,
college students are extremely fond of this little gem for debate in their
courses of psychology. Both ends of the school spectrum is serviced by
this profound teaching.
REFLECTIONS ON A RAINY
APRIL DAY is a 23 page story book, lap size, 8 1/2 inches
by 11 inches, filled with simple color pictures. It consists almost entirely
of dialogue.
A Saturday April thunderstorm
has canceled the fishing trip the lad had scheduled with his father.
Relegated to a lonely and boring afternoon
in his upstairs bedroom with his pet cat, the boy strikes up a conversation
with his Magical Personality. The ensuing conversation is enlightening,
funny, and mentally provocative.
Not to be confused with a fairy tale, this
story delves into potentials and probabilities in a simple, matter of fact
way, that allows the child to accept society's concept of the irrational
as rational. This is the proverbial key that opens that special door to
unlimited successes. It works!
The Magical Personality with whom the lad converses,
is actually his own Inner Self or Higher Self. His Soul, though silent,
is pleased to sponsor this sharing of wisdom. Adults tend to have a programmed
problem with this. Little children accept it with remarkable ease! This
is sometimes the case when the child teaches the parent.
If there is a special child or grandchild in
your life, this is the gift for that special someone. Remember, a book
is a gift that can be opened every day of the year. When the new toys have
lost their luster, the comfortable old book always comes to the rescue.
Better to be glad you did, than to be sorry you didn't.
