When we teach a child to draw,
we teach him how to see.
When we teach a child to play a musical instrument,
we teach her how to listen.
When we teach a child how to dance,
We teach him how to move through life with grace.
When we teach a child how to read or write,
We teach her how to think
When we nurture imagination,
we create a better word, one child at a time.
