It Takes a Village is a textbook for caring….Filled with truths that are worth a read, and a reread (The Dallas Morning News). For more than thirty-five years, Senator Clinton has made children her passion and her cause. Her long experiencenot only through her roles as mother, daughter, sister, and wife but also as advocate, legal expert, and public servanthas strengthened her conviction that how children develop and what they need to succeed are inextricably entwined with the society in which they live and how well it sustains and supports its families and individuals. In other words, it takes a village to raise a child. In her new Introduction, Senator Clinton reflects on how our village has changed over the last decadefrom the impact of the Internet to new research in early child development and education. She discusses issues of increasing concernsecurity, the environment, the national debtand looks at where we have made progress and where there is still work to be done. It Takes a Village has become a classic. As relevant as ever, this anniversary edition makes it abundantly clear that the choices we make today about how we raise our children and how we support families will determine how our nation will face the challenges of this century.
