It Takes a Village
It Takes a Village | Hillary Rodham Clinton
15 posts | 17 read | 14 to read
In celebration of the tenth anniversary of It Takes a Village, this splendid edition includes photographs and a new Introduction by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. A decade ago, then First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton chronicled her quest -- both deeply personal and, in the truest sense, public -- to help make our society into the kind of village that enables children to become smart, able, resilient adults. 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 experience -- not only through her roles as mother, daughter, sister, and wife but also as advocate, legal expert, and public servant -- has 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 decade -- from the impact of the Internet to new research in early child development and education. She discusses issues of increasing concern -- security, the environment, the national debt -- and 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.

#InspiredNewYear Day 26: We need to be #Mindful that in most everything that we do, it takes a village to make it happen. Review of this gorgeous picturebook is forthcoming. Happy to have found it on Overdrive.

TheKidUpstairs It's unfortunate how many of us have gone so far away from the idea of it takes a village. Maybe these times if greater isolation will lead to more pull towards community/ village thinking 🤞 3y

I‘m a woman who neither wants nor likes kids. The amount of flak I‘ve caught for this has helped cement resentment and deepened this dislike. Reading this book was absolutely necessary for me to undo much of that and regain perspective. This taught me an incredible amount and has helped me become a more sympathetic person, which was absolutely necessary.

#HeyJune Day 4: There is a #IWantToHoldYourHand vibe to the narrative as it speaks of the significance of community, the valuing of diversity, and celebrating multiculturalism in the truest sense of the word: and yes, it does take a village.

GypsyKat Nice interpretation! 👍 6y

Received a copy of this book from a signing event hosted by another branch of the book store I work for and it still holds up as a wonderful example of everyone accepting and working with each other.

#LitsyPaysItForward @Smangela @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I told you I had those babies covered. 😊

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Omg!!! 😄😊❤️That is so awesome and generous!!!!! I went to the USPS today and that is going to be our best bet! @Smangela and I are going to give it a few more days to see if anyone else signs up and then work out the details! UPS prices were astronomical!! 😱 7y
mrsmarch @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks The workbooks and the flash cards were $1 each at Target. The High Fives and the American Spirit magazine have been kicking around the house. I'm happy to have them going somewhere they're needed! (edited) 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @mrsmarch They are going to be so happy!!! It will probably get there around Christmas depending on when we get everything wrapped up! Idk if you saw my original post, but I mailed Pride and Prejudice February 6th and it got there June 30th!!! I had decided it had gotten lost! 7y
mrsmarch @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks The only international mailing I've ever done was to the UK and it got there in a week lol. From Boston to London, there are probably multiple direct flights a day. It's going to be quite a journey to the Philippines! 7y
Smangela This is amazing, Rachel! You are a Wonder Woman ❤️❤️ 7y

I cried when watching Pete Souza's slideshow at breakfast this morning and burst into tears as soon as Hillary took the stage (with Cheryl Strayed!) tonight.

Bookcation74 Pete Souza's Instagram is fantastic - his expertly timed posts make me sad yet giggle at the same time. 7y
MCYmermaid Same same. 7y
rachel_mbc @Bookcation74 Yes! They're a bright spot and a sad reminder, all at the same time. 7y

Jensol77 Bill was pretty emotional too. One day our daughters and granddaughters will read about this in history and we'll be able to tell them how it felt to see Hillary get the Democratic nomination. 🇺🇸 8y

#WWW This is the back cover of my original 1996 Hillary Rodham Clinton's 'It Takes a Village'. 20 years since this book was published and this week the 1st Woman Presidential Nominee of a Major Political Party. You may love her, or hate her, but she's made history this week either way....going from Mrs. Clinton in this back cover blurb, to Senator, to Secretary of State, and now Presidential Nominee, she's my WWW!

Hreynolds Love this. Thanks for sharing' 8y
