As a teacher I have felt as though every child has a secret little world that we should take the time to enter. Their perceptions, their dreams, and their curiosities hold a treasure worth unlocking. That is why I love teaching.
I have loved taking courses on education. I have loved reading books about children. The best way to learn about children, however, is by sitting on the floor with them, watching them play and listening to their thoughts.
A good friend shared a story with me this morning on Facebook that had another story linked to it. It was about Iris Grace. Iris Grace is a little girl affected by autism and she lives in a beautiful world of color and creativity. Her parents and her friends have found a way to enter her world and what a blessing that has been.
I have a collection of expressions of art in my home beautifully done by adults and children living with a label but blessed with a powerful gift. I will be adding some of Iris Grace's artwork to my collection and reading her story. I wanted to share her gift to the world with you so you can be blessed by it as well.
Thank you, Iris Grace! I look forward to having your artwork in my home!
