The Imaginative Use of Books in Family Life
Inspire your child to become a lifelong reader! Honey for a Child's Heart is a compelling, essential guide for parents who want to find the best books for their children.
We all know that reading directly affects what children think about, from their view of the world to their creative imagination. A good book is a gateway into a wider world of wonder, beauty, delight, and adventure. But children don't stumble onto the best books by themselves. They need a parent's help.

- Understand the importance of reading aloud to children
- Give your children a large view of the world, of truth, and of goodness
- Encourage each child's imagination and good use of language
- Teach your children about life's choices
- Find the best books for your children
