A Story in Paragraphs

Children are full of wonders. What they are able to accomplish under the right circumstances and guidance exceeds our highest expectations. This little book contains a treasure-trove of fourth and fifth graders' writing but it contains the traces of much more than that because their writing is based on true reading: the careful disciplined attention to the behavior of great texts. A Story in Paragraphs bears witness to the accomplishments and promises of an education in leisure. Children can indeed fly if only we don't clip their wings.
