So Excellent, So Needed

I'm a 56 year old mother of 3. This book is really excellent towards developing the "whole" personality in our young ones. In 2015, in the Lobby of NWES, I witnessed a grandmother beat her granddaughters leg really hard for getting in the floor to play with the 2 grandsons. She sat on the bench crying and trying to breath, while grandmother smiled this really "Joker" looking smile at the boys who were having fun playing. The boys didn't react at all as if anything was strange about that. She's training the girl to sit on the bench and watch the boys do everything. Grandparents that were crippled when they were children can repeat this trauma on the grandchildren. It's still 1950 out in the sticks. I'm buying as many of these books as I can and giving them to my daughters school library, or however the principal says I can do it, to get the books to these backwoods KY girls that really need them. No, I didn't confront "granny dearest", my disabled daughter arrived to go home just a few seconds after this and I wanted her away from seeing it. Yes, I told the office. They did nothing :(
