Dear Mr. President Excuse me, kind sir . . . Yes, its me, way down here. Do you have just a moment to lend me your ear? I may be quite small, you may think me naive, but please, sir, just grant me a moments reprieve. It has been said that our children are our future, yet we often fail to listen to what they have to say when they are young. We also tend to ask them to do as we say but not as we dowhether we realize it or not. We assume that they dont have anything important to say or that their observations are too immature to bare consideration. In a world swirling with political rhetoric, divisiveness, anger, and fear, Dear Mr. President reminds us just how important common decency, trust, and kindness truly are. It is also a powerful reminder that both words and actions make lasting impressions and that true wisdom often springs from innocence and candid honesty. The worlds children are watching and listening; we would be wise to listen to them too.
