Bob Reid's “Good Stuff”

I have long wanted to gather a list of sources of "good stuff," good children's music, inspiring books and writings, valuable web sites, etc. Here is the beginnings of my list of Good Stuff. Enjoy!

The Education Of Little Tree
by Forrest Carter
This is one of the most beautiful, intense books I have ever read. I am grateful to Steve Schuch, of New Hampshire, who first shared it with me. Bonnie and I quoted from it at our wedding! There are few books I have enjoyed reading aloud as much as this one. It'll take you from belly laughs to tears in nothing flat.

Martin Luther King, Jr. 
We must be careful that we do not allow some of our greatest people to be redefined into irrelevant personalities whose thoughts and beliefs have nothing to do with our current world. If you read, or better yet, listen to the words of these people, you will have your own experience of who they were, and perhaps why they were killed.
