On Once Upon a Family: Read-Aloud Stories and Activities
That Nurture Healthy Kids: "Fitzpatrick offers traditional tales from many cultures and abundant ideas
for leading children to engage with the stories on their own terms. Her advice is pleasingly spiritual and decidedly noncookbook;
she calls devotion to child-rearing guides that offer systems and tips 'virtual parenting.'" -- San Jose Mercury News
"Fitzpatrick's discussions stimulate readers to review their own lives and show them how
best to transmit the lessons they've learned to the next generation." -- The Washington Post Book World

On Small Wonder: How to Answer Your Child's Impossible Questions About
Life: "A wonderfully penetrating book that insightfully addresses the real questions that kids want
to discuss in lucid, understandable language." -- Rabbi Earl Grollman, author of Talking About Death:
A Dialogue Between Parent and Child |

"Fitzpatrick's...advice is pleasingly spiritual and decidedly noncookbook." -- San Jose Mercury
