SPRING SPECIAL
Spring is such a great time of year, so we are having a SPRING SPECIAL.
For September only when you purchase 5 or more Child's Play Books you will get a free Drum Mobile, valued at $10.
Now this is not just any drum mobile, these mobiles have been made in Bangladesh and are a Free Trade product. Free Trade products help the poorer producers in the Developing World and transform lives giving people income, dignity and hope for the future. How fantastic is that.

Clearer Vision
Got this sent to me by email. Really liked it so I thought I'd share.
What a lesson we can learn from this one...
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast
The young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "
That laundry is not very clean", she said.
"She doesn't know how to wash correctly.
Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."
Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry,
The young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see
Nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:
"Look, she has learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this.."
The husband said, "I got up early this morning and
Cleaned our windows.
And so it is with life. What we see when watching
others Depends on the purity of our minds
and the window through which we look.
