LET YOUR CHILD READ THIS BOOK TO YOU !

It is my hope this children's book not be read to older children by an adult reader. Rather the book should be read by the child to the adult audience.Most of us are some distance from our earlier experiences in learning about the Constitution and the conditions of the times which spawned it.Hearing a child read the book will benefit the adult listener with a quick review of the importance of the document and each person's responsibility to see that it remains alive and well in practice.As the adult hears the child's voice find meaning in the words, the listener is reminded that only the adults can carry the torch until the child matures.
