Jive Talkin'

The idea of truth and of telling the truth is a very big and very important idea, but even more perplexing is why people lie to themselves and others about others and about whom they are. That said, in this book, the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan explores the idea of truth, or rather of being true to oneself and others. To paraphrase the great William Shakespeare, who first said 'to thine own self be true . . . ,' if you are true to yourself, then you are as the night that follows day and can tell no false thing to any man. And this should be the standard, because even what you think are good ends are never justified by bad means.

Penelope Dyan believes learning should be fun and if kids have fun learning, they will love to learn.
