There are few things more rewarding than sharing a book with someone. Sarah’s Touch is one of those books that will be very rewarding to children when read together with an adult. Sarah’s Touch is a true and touching story that teaches the value of quality by example. Sarah was working with children who had been moved frequently from home to home. These children had no trust in adults, no social skills, and no values.
Sarah taught by the way she lived her life and interacted with the children. They learned competence, value in relationships, and trust in themselves and others. They learned and accepted the value of doing the best they could, not because of a class or a subject taught in school, but because they came to understand the meaning of value in their own life.
