Is this the book that I know as "The Root Children"? I loved this book.
Those archetypes continue to emerge as children grow up. I teach seventh grade, and I work daily with and against the roles that children assign themselves or are assigned by their peers.
I wish I could be Mother Nature and call all of my children to do what their do best.
I don't think they are the same, but they are related. This one was based on the quilt in the illustration (which was based on The Root Children if I'm not mistaken).
Seventh Grade...junior high is such a challenging time. I think I am more nervous about my kids entering that age group than any other.
what a lovely post! What a great project. And all that worrying you'll be doing for the rest of their lives? Magic DOES happen and they turn out to be really remarkable adults!
