Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was very fortunate in life, and as I lay in bed late at night, I was surrounded by beautiful things. But I was also very poor, and poverty didn’t preclude gorgeous beaches and a climate like heaven.
#2 I grew up on Cat Island, and I was free to explore and play anywhere I wanted. I knew from observation that the sapodilla tree produced fruit, plump, grayish brown, soft, and delectable. I learned early on that if I got up high in a sapodilla tree, rather than crawling out on limbs to see if the fruit was ripe enough to eat, I could rattle the top branches and ripe fruit would come loose and fall to the ground.
#3 The American society we live in today is constantly bombarding children with sounds, smells, and images. But the mental and emotional apparatus to sift through these distractions and process them in some meaningful way isn’t there yet.
#4 I was raised on Cat Island, a small island in the Caribbean, where there was no electricity or running water. I had to learn how to survive without these things. I was exposed to stimuli, but they were natural ones.
