How to Grow a Child by Bernard percy

In 1974, six young students from Bernard Percy's
class at PS 289 in Brooklyn, New York wrote
How to Grow a Child -- an impassioned plea that parents truly understand and value their children's
point of view.

In the ensuing years, those children have grown up
and are now raising children of their own. Three have maintained a close relationship with "Mr. Percy," the teacher who arranged for the original publication of
that book.

This new edition reflects on the power of their friend-
shipand the words that shaped the lives of children
and teacher alike.

How to Grow a Child is a remarkable testament to
the wisdom of children and the ever-expanding but
often unseen influence of teachers and educators on
the students they care for.
