She says, "Many of the poems have won awards, and I wanted to collect the best of my work into one volume. More to come." The first poem in the collection, and the title of her book, Girl Flying Kite, describes the moment a nuclear bomb exploded over Nagasaki, Japan, during World War II. Her poem begins: We have to imagineshe had flaws, the girlwhose shade is blasted foreverinto Nagasaki stone. She was doubtlessless beautiful than the outlinesuggests. It ends: Seen from far above the earth, the mushroomcloud containing the moleculesof the girl must have lookedlike a giant knob openingthe door to a roomful of human horrors, lives no more than scraps of paperto be wadded up and tossedinto a corner trash basket.

Every parent wants to raise a bright, happy, and moral child, but until Stanley Greenspan investigated the building blocks of cognitive, social, emotional, and moral development, no one could show parents how and when these qualities begin. In this book Dr. Greenspan, the internationally admired child psychiatrist, identifies the six key experiences that enable children to reach their full potential. In Building Healthy Minds , he draws upon discoveries made in his research and practice as he describes the many ways in which games, fantasy play, and conversations with and without words encourage this development. No one has looked so deeply into the very earliest stages of human development, and no other book makes such vital and effective information available to every parent.
