Thought Provoking Children's Book Aims To Inspire Philosophical Inquiry
Ohio Artist Draws Attention to His Children's Book Kingfisher and Wren: A Book of Verses
PORT CLINTON, Ohio, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Artist and writer Nathan Janes is announcing his crowd funding effort to self-publish his book that examines the intricacies of social attitudes in the 21st Century. The book, Kingfisher and Wren, is a collection of over 50 illustrated verses. The project brings to life a spectacled eider duck who happens to be a writer, philosopher, and advocate for continuous learning. The purpose is to stimulate philosophical inquiry and engage children in thoughtful discussions, as promoted by Tom Wartenberg.
Professor Wartenberg, creator of Teaching Children Philosophy acclaim, created a website for teachers to introduce philosophy to young students. However, teachers may be hard pressed to find the time or additional room for discussion within the current curriculum. The book, Kingfisher and Wren, provide an opportunity for thoughtful dialog to begin at home, with parents sharing the stories and listening to their child's interpretation of the world around them. Naturally, the Spectacled Eider is focused on conservation of wildlife, and his lessons address living creatures, human and otherwise.
The verses can be enjoyed on a poetic level, but as ideas are examined, children will discover deeper layers within the stories. The verses are relevant to people of all ages and at all stages of life. Deeper still is the Spectacle Eider's overview of the world as a whole, with humans, animals and plant life living in harmony.
Individuals who pre-order the book will receive The Spectacled Eider's "Conservation Call to Action" duck call made exclusively by World Champion Duck Caller, Buck Gardner of Buck Gardner Calls. Children will be thrilled to sound the call to awaken their inner soul and find solutions to environmental issues.
The public can fund this project by pre-ordering a copy of the book by visiting KingfisherAndWren.com today. Public support will turn this incredible idea into a reality! Please participate in this great remarkable journey by helping to spread the message. Be a conduit, if you will, for sharing something truly inspirational and unique for our youth. Encourage your family, friends, co-workers and others to consider supporting this valuable children's book.
"This is my life, my passion, and my dream. What I have created and am presenting to you now is a result of my dedication, persistence, and perseverance towards producing a book like no other."
