I used to teach school. My specialty was teaching young children how to read and enjoy their creativity. I would like some feedback since I am in my 80’s. I feel wonderful just about everyday eventhough I have cancer, osteoporous,low-vision (advanced glaucoma in both eyes) and asthma. Some people think that I am too old to attempt continuing my Books. What do you think? I am a positive-thinker and grateful to GOD for extending my life. Come on, I want only true opinions.

I have someone to illustrate my books. Got any ideas where I might contact someone who would be interested in getting the first book off the “ground’ FLOOR. Best Wishes for your suggestions.

A new book ‘King & King’ features a prince. After his mother is very persistent for him to get married he decides to go out to find a spouse. He chooses a prince because he’s never been fond of princesses. They live happily ever after.

As you can tell this Cinderella story has that modern ********** twist.

If your child brought this book home from school, how would it make you feel?

Do you agree with homosexuality being considered ‘normal’ in the early years?

Do you agree with fairy tales ending with a same *** couple?

Anything else?

Thanks!
Whoa! Some people need to settle down and stop ASSuming what I’m saying.

The book clearly shows that the two boys get married. It has hearts between the two when they meet. Obviously, it’s not just showing them as friends. For those who do not understand the book.

Another thing people assume is you have to be a hard-core Christian to disagree. You don’t– another ASSumption.

musicpanther67–“Do you agree with homosexuality being considered ‘normal’ in the early years? . To put normal like that shows that you do not agree.”

Again, please do not put words in my mouth or try to figure out my thought process.

Is homosexuality normal by definition? No, it’s not. The definition of normal is conforming to the usual standard, type, or custom. Is homosexuality conformed? No. Is it the usual standard? No. Is it custom? No. That’s what I meant by homosexuality being considered normal.
Now, I’ll give MY opinion so people will stop ASSuming what it is.

I know many *** people. Some of which are/were good friends. While I agree we should teach tolerance I really don’t like the idea of the book. I do not feel it belongs in schools and feel that is a topic parents should breech on their own.

I love books about families. Those belong in schools. Books such as, “All Families are Special” and “Emma and Meesha My Boy: A Two Mom Story” featuring ********** parents as well as other family situations that are not ‘normal.‘ They approach homosexuality from a tolerance stand point.

I think teaching tolerance is one thing but making it into a fairy tale is another. Kids will realize at a certain age if they are *** or not. Why question it in third grade?
Biz. You know, this is one of the reasons why I **** this site at times. People read into what you are actually saying. If you cannot find the right words you’re screwed.

That is what I meant. Tolerance, acceptance, or whatever. I just mean teaching our kids that it’s OKAY to be whatever they are. Homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual, or a person who loves toes.

Please, don’t read into what I’m saying. I have nothing–and I mean nothing–against *** people. My son knows *** people.

The thing I was just saying is that I don’t like the idea of that kind of book. I prefer going about homosexuality in a completely different matter–not that my son won’t know WHAT homosexuality is in third grade but he probably won’t read a book like that in third grade.

Like I said before I like books that teach DIFFERNCES. That is how I approach tolerance and accpetance.

I want some books that have neat craft ideas for me to use with children I nanny for. Something that maybe a teacher would have to use for craft projects. The children I nanny for are 4 and 7.

Thanks
