Details
In a witty, deeply-thought-provoking repartee and discussion on ‘the mysteries of the child,’ the author invites the spirit of Maria Montessori to tea. Why not?
She has seen Maria peek around the corners of her dreams and pop in unexpectedly to voice her well-documented, but not well-known opinions on ‘Who are we?’ ‘Why are we here?’ and ‘Of what are we capable?’…Why not keep the dialogue going?
Backed by extensive and cited research, this ground-breaking novel, Mornings with Maria Montessori, shows a new side to Maria’s secret perceptions, hopes and vision for the child…for us all.
In this candid heartfelt interplay of ideas and personalities, the author asks Maria, “What did you understand about being human that you couldn’t quite tell us? What did you actually see in the child that you couldn’t explain? And what did you allude to that we missed?”
“Tell us, Maria, what were you trying to hint at past the limits of science and the veil of culture? Would you like another cup of tea? Please…tell us more.”
