March 3, 2021 by The Learning Basket Leave a Comment

classic children's books

I was still reading my favorite classic children's books from childhood when I was a young professional and I remember having a good cry over Sarah in The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett one weekend that I was home.

Atrocities, abuses, and suppression of freedom that happened during the Marcos years are largely forgotten and not adequately taught in schools. Hence, we find ourselves constantly at the mercy of the same kind of people … [Read more...]
