The Thing is available on Kindle and if you read it with your children I am sure it will start a dialogue about they way the world is. Just click the image and read part of the book. I am sure your children will have a lot of questions.

‘The Thing’ is a book that should be read by all. It is a story, which shows how if we are not careful things become more important than people. How coveting things leads to jealousy and jealousy turns to anger and then fear and loathing. If we are not careful loathing turns to hatred and it is hatred that causes war.

‘The Thing’ is a modern day parable that should be taught to children, because children hold they key. While in life you cannot have an up without a down, a left without a right or good without bad, I do believe that hatred and evil are something that are taught and learned not inherent within us at birth.

So please read this book and look at the world through the eyes of a child and see the world as a better place.
