Book Review: Entertaining and practical: ideas for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a how-to book from Weisman, with examples and parables almost everyone can relate to and implement. Whether your children are small or grown, or you don't have children, the ideas in this book for giving back a little of yourself to the world and feeling good about it abound. While we all hope that our children can follow our example of giving back in goods and/or services, this book can be a welcome and quick refresher course for what to do this summer or next year. By involving others, such as children or other family members, lasting memories and real impacts can be made, large or small on the world, whether it is helping raise funds or awareness for a local community cause or providing assistance half a world away. Weisman writes in a simple and humorous style that allows one's own imagination to start working, and provokes one to explore web-based opportunities that can result in meaningful family time. Sometimes it's easy to just send a check, but many of her ideas involve lasting impressions that can be created for your children or grandchildren. In the end, she gives ample examples of how individuals, one at a time, can make a difference. Many of her examples provide at least as many rewards for the giver as they do for the recipient. In the end, that's what makes it all work and a memorable read. After finishing, I went to her website, which is, like the book, refreshingly simple, funny, and leaves a lasting impression.
