After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.
– Philip Pullman

Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of the bestselling book, Kitchen Table Wisdom, writes about the power of sharing stories with children:

“When I was a child, people sat around kitchen tables and told their stories. We don’t do that so much anymore…Telling stories is not just a way of passing time. It is the way the wisdom gets passed along…

“In telling them [our stories], we are telling each other the human story. Stories that touch us in this place of common humanness awaken us and weave us together as a family once again.”
