Created for Quaker children and their First Day School teachers, First Day Stories with Lessons for Friends' Children consists of 12 illustrated stories to read to 3- to 5-year-olds, along with two lessons per story about contemporary Friends' practices and community in unprogrammed meetings. The stories portray a Quaker family at home and in Meeting-for example, shaking hands after Meeting, holding others in the Light, comforting a sad Friend, and aiding persons without homes. The lessons at the back of the book may be used without additional materials and without extensive teacher preparation.
