"Let them have tales of the imagination, scenes laid in other lands and other times, heroic adventures, hairbreadth escapes, delicious fairytales in which they are never pulled up by the impossible-even where all is impossible, and they know it, and yet believe." Pg. 60

"But imagination is nothing if not creative it see, not only what is apparent, but what is conceivable, and what is poetically fit."

"Imagination grows by what it gets; and childhood, the age of faith, is the time for its nourishing."

Take-aways

1. Read lots of stories to experience the joys of living in all sorts of places throughout all sorts of times

2. Sketch pictures from imagination from stories being read aloud

3. Ask, "why." The skill of inferencing relies on imagination.

4. Play pretend, dress-ups, write plays, act out stories. Role play courage, kindness and service.
