Totto-chan: The Little Girl at the Window


I ran across a link to a fabulous childrens chapter book today. A mother sent her daughter to traditional school and she got kicked out for being a regular kid, she was not disrespectful just curious about the world around her. The wise mother recognized that there was nothing wrong with her child and did not tell her that she had been expelled but instead found a school that understood and respectes the natural curiosity and energy that children have and gave the children many opportunities to learn new things through natural experiences in addition to book work. It would have been wonderful to have been able to attend a school like that as a girl...it would be neat to attend a school like that now!
If my boys are interested I will be reading this aloud before bed next week. It is a bit young for them but they often still enjoy childrens stories. It is about 100 pages long.
