With A Grateful Heart: A Jamaican Children's Story On Values (How Fi Grow Yuh Pickney)

By Zunammie Keren and Catherine Alexander-McDaniel

It's Zachary's birthday and he couldn't be happier. Who knew that so many emotions would come into play as he goes to choose his birthday gift. Will Zachary choose to make himself happy or to make someone else happy? A Note to Parents/Guardians/Teachers This series is a plea for us all to do our part in ensuring that we are good examples for children to follow. As a mother of 2 boys, I was inspired to write these books as I noticed that more and more children lack basic manners and respect. It is my view that as our 'village" is failing us. Because of our busy lives, we depend on schools to protect and teach them what should be reinforced and practised in the home. We don't spend the time monitoring what our children are exposed to from the TV, social media and the internet. We need to sit and explain our religious beliefs and core values and pray for them daily. These books are for us just as much as they are for the children. Please read together to spark a discussion on core values. Let us also examine ourselves. 'Do as I say and not as I do' cannot be the answer. We can not continue to allow our values and morals to be depleted which steer our children to add to the breakdown of our beautiful country, Jamaica. Let us fight for our children.They are worth it, are they not?
