In these days of rush, rush, rush, too much childhood technology, little outdoor play, and less meaningful social interaction with friends, family, and the world at large, this story is right on time. Actually, a story like this is always on time: Compassion, Kindness, Peace, Joy, Love... and being the change we want to see in the world, are all great messages with even greater life-lessons when put into practice. "The Flower Children" is a beautiful book - for every child ...or child at heart.
