It Takes a Village, Tenth Anniversary Edition
Hardcover
– Deckle Edge, December 12, 2006 signed by Hillary Clinton on Dec 20th 2006 in White Plains, New York
In celebration of the tenth anniversary of It Takes a Village, this splendid edition includes photographs and a new Introduction by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
A
decade ago, then First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton chronicled her
quest—both deeply personal and, in the truest sense, public—to help make
our society into the kind of village that enables children to become
smart, able, resilient adults. It Takes a Village is “a textbook for caring....Filled with truths that are worth a read, and a reread” (The Dallas Morning News).
For
more than thirty-five years, Senator Clinton has made children her
passion and her cause. Her long experience—not only through her roles as
mother, daughter, sister, and wife but also as advocate, legal expert,
and public servant—has strengthened her conviction that how children
develop and what they need to succeed are inextricably entwined with the
society in which they live and how well it sustains and supports its
families and individuals. In other words, it takes a village to raise a
child.
In her new Introduction, Senator Clinton reflects on how
our village has changed over the last decade—from the impact of the
Internet to new research in early child development and education. She
discusses issues of increasing concern—security, the environment, the
national debt—and looks at where we have made progress and where there
is still work to be done.
It Takes a Village has become a
classic. As relevant as ever, this anniversary edition makes it
abundantly clear that the choices we make today about how we raise our
children and how we support families will determine how our nation will
face the challenges of this century.
