Product Description
In America today, the gap between the rich and the poor is the greatest ever recorded--larger than any other industrialized nation. It has become far too easy to ignore the hardships of millions of children plagued by poverty, poor health, illiteracy, violence, adult hypocrisy, and injustice. As founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund, Marian Wright Edelman knows all too well the suffering of so many of our nation's children, who live every day with adversity most of us can barely imagine. In iThe Sea Is So Wide and My Boat Is So Small/i, Edelman asks difficult questions about what we truly value, and looks hard at what we can--and must--do to build a nation fit for iall/i children. With the passion and conviction that have made her our leading child advocate, she calls us all to stand up for the future of America. What have we done and what have we left undone? What lessons can we learn from our past and our present to realize a just and peaceful national and world vision for our children and grandchildren?PPMarian Wright Edelman challenges all of us--our leaders, our teachers, the faith community, parents, grandparents, and future generations--to end the epidemic physical and spiritual poverty afflicting millions of our children. We ican/i leave our children with a better, safer, and fairer world iif/i we care enough. And we can--and must--do it now./p

Tribute December 2, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Marian Wright Edelman has written an instructional manual on how to build a nation for all children. Like all instructional manuals it is not exciting or entertaining. And it is expensive for it's intended audience;ie 19 pages for Parents. But Ms. Edelman cares enough to challenge me to get this manual out to her intendeds. So I bought four copies.br /br /As a tribute to a teacher friend that recently passed, I gave away each book asking each recipient to read and then pass the book onward. The voyage of Ms. Edelman's message has begun.
