with the basic values of character, sportsmanship, social skills, health, and the
importance of reading. For good measure they've also increased awareness

Author of Tailey Whaley and Educational Programs Manager (retired) for
Earth Sciences at NASA's Goddard Space flight Center."

I've waited so long, sweetheart. . . at last, we finally meet.

Here in the Reading Tub(tm), our goal is to broaden their naturally incredible horizons. We help parents nurture their child's love of learning and encourage families to create special moments every day. Just by sharing a book.

“What Are They Thinking?”
How many times have parents, grandparents, teachers and other adults asked that question about the young people in their lives? This book provides answers both surprising and inspiring. Young people today are faced with enormous pressure and a near constant stream of conflicting messages from sources that didn’t exist merely five years ago. Sources that seek to influence the way they think, how they dress, how they spend their money and how they navigate through the world. It’s an exciting and confusing time for students and adults. It is our mission to encourage young people to let their voices be heard.
