Humane Education Activities and Ideas.
Teaching values of respect, empathy, integrity, responsibility, care and compassion.
“Respect and compassion for animals are essential to a humane and just society and must begin at an early age. Much of the cruelty in the world is caused by an inability to care for those unable to fend for themselves. Animals and Us will help children understand and empathise with other sentient beings and should be mandatory in all schools.”
Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore, MP
..........New endorsement by Dr WiIl Tuttle
Animals and Us provides children with a fun, interactive, and creative way not only to learn about animals, but also to clarify their understanding about animals as subjects of their lives, not as mere objects to be used by humans.
Faye Leister, the creator of this marvellous book, offers a great service not only to children but to our entire society, because the abilities that Animals and Us naturally cultivates in children are the very abilities that are most important for happiness and peace: a sense of kindness and respect for others. In fact, this is really a workbook for a conscious life. I think that anyone who spends time with this book will emerge not only more aware of the ways our culture dominates animals, but also more aware of our own attitudes toward animals and how we can elevate these attitudes.
Building on the natural attraction children have for animals, Animals and Us deepens that attraction and gives it a way to grow and develop.
This book is provocative and healing and will certainly make a valuable gift for both children and their parents and teachers. Highly recommended!
Dr Will Tuttle has a Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Education and.is the author of the acclaimed best-seller, The World Peace Diet.
