‘Mother, a Story at the right time,
Is a Looking-glass for the Mind.’
– Froebel –
Endeavored to write, for mothers and dear little children, a few simple stories, embodying some of the truths of Froebel’s Mother Play.
The Mother Play is such a vast treasure house of Truth, that each one who seeks among its stores may bring to light some gem; and though, perhaps, I have missed its diamonds and rubies, I trust my string of pearls may find acceptance with some mother who is trying to live with her children.
I have written my own mottoes, with a few exceptions, that I might emphasize the particular lesson which I endeavor to teach in the story; for every motto in the Mother Play comprehends so much that it is impossible to use the whole for a single subject. From ‘The Bridge’ for instance, which is replete with lessons, I have taken only one, —for the story of the ‘Little Traveler.’
