| Hanna Golan's Bless the Children, A Mother's Journal is a collection of short rhyming stories extracted from the author's childhood memoirs and her journal as the young mother of exceptionally bright and very energetic children. Astutely and lightheartedly, these stories capture childhood as it flutters by ever so swiftly in its many phases and moods - the joys, the disappointments, and all the wonder of discovery.
Bless the Children will spark your own memories of days long gone and more recent experiences, whether your own or those of the children in your adult life. Smiles are guaranteed along with "oohs," "ahs," "ahas," and even a few "oys" as you read the vivid narratives and view the charming illustrations that enhance the rhythmic descriptions. Bless the Children is a must read for every adult who has ever been a child, parented a child, grandparented a child, taught a child, neighbored a child, or has been acquainted with a child. |

| "The stories within the pages of Bless the Children, A Mother's Journal have a charming 19th Century flavor. The rhymes are catchy, the vocabulary is rich without being outlandish, and the grimmest of the stories are reminiscent of Grimm Brothers' tales." | ||||||||||||||||||||

| "Hanna Golan has a gift that few of us have been given -- an artist, a poet, and a writer. She is able to relate the joys and woes of parenthood in charming poetry. In Bless the Children, A Mother's Journal, Ms. Golan has given the reader a small volume to enjoy and bring back memories of one's own parenthood ... and at times one's own childhood. Some poems may make you laught, others shed a tear, but I guarantee you'll enjoy the journey." | ||||||||||||||||||||
