Review
This is a rare and compelling book, one that consistently demonstrates a profound respect for the intelligence and spiritual lives of children, and those who teach them. Story after story takes us into the larger dimensions of life, and the questions that need to be asked but which can never be answered. I found myself wanting to engage immediately with the children in my life, to share these stories and to explore together where they would lead us. And I know that as teachers guide their students into these wondrous and life-affirming stories, they too will be nourished and awakened. --Margaret J. Wheatley, author of `Leadership and the New Science` and other books
A Moon on Water is quite literally a wonderful, practical book. Written to help teachers develop children s spiritual intelligence, it is full of wonder about our connection to the cosmos. It asks children to consider some Big Questions about the wonder of everyday life and encourages them towards their own enlightenment. But spiritual need not mean religious. This message appears in several forms throughout the book, beginning when the authors each outline what spirituality means to them and how it affects their lives. Like their Looking from Another Angle exercise, they have each brought their own viewpoint to this fundamental issue and used their particular strengths and experience to help the children see that perspective in order to discover their own. The result is a vista of approaches from story to sound that shares the wonder through topics that explore meanings around us, choice and change, talents and gifts, harmony and discord, morals and obligations, and opportunity, amongst many others. This is a book of collected wisdom from different times and cultures for modern classrooms. It is bound together with activities to bring alive the stories, proverbs, songs, quotes and ideas in order that children can make sense of themselves and the world in which they live. But it will leave any reader feeling like they have been gently prompted into positively examining their life. --Simon Percival Coach and co-author of Coaching Emotional Intelligence in the Classroom www.simonpercival.com
A Moon on Water is a book that helps us to access the creative wisdom of the past so that we may explore the present in fresh & meaningful ways; education without that is nothing more than schooling. --Will Ord, Education Consultant

Product Description
Spiritual intelligence is the innate ability that all children have to find greater wonder and purpose in their lives, through the lives that they are already leading. Natural curiosity, a sense of playfulness and fun, the urge to question these are the resources that all children possess and can use to explore more deeply who they are and what their existence can mean to them. A Moon On Water is intended as a workbook of practical ideas and activities for use in schools that can be applied in a range of contexts across the curriculum; as a basis for philosophical enquiry, for exploring feelings and enhancing emotional resourcefulness, for adding the dimension of values to the subjects and knowledge that children study. In short the book seeks to show children how to connect who they are with what they do, with why they are here . Includes a CD-ROM and Audio CD
