Taras Tales PDF Download

Learning and sharing continue to be a fulfilling part of my life. I have taught in elementary and high schools. As a professor of Communication in the University System of New Hampshire, I had the opportunity of initiating a program of international education for college students as well as international teacher exchanges. Through years of international service I had the privilege of meeting and working with children, parents, a number of community leaders and educators in England, Italy, South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, Nepal, Turkey, Switzerland as well as the United States. The universal themes of Tara's Tales are the result of learning and sharing with people throughout the world. Tara Stuart I am a graphic designer/illustrator; I have an Associate's Degree in Art, from the Art Institute of Atlanta, Atlanta Georgia. I have been working as a graphic designer since 1983. My task with Tara's fables was to design a platform to visually pull you into Tara's thoughts and vision. I loved working with Tara on this and many of her other fables, and would suggest you read all of her works. Philip Thomsen Tara Stuart has worked and played with children of all ages in many parts of the world, and is co-author of "I Always Knew I Was Different," concerning the study and case histories of gifted and highly gifted children. She has taught in elementary and secondary schools. In 2005, after a number of years teaching at Keene State College in New Hampshire, USA. Tara was named Professor of Communication Emeritus. Extensive travel, work and study in Europe, Asia, Africa and America have deeply influenced the universal theme of Tara's Tales. The encouragement of joy and wonder in children provided the inspiration. "Mountain is the second Tara's Tale to share with children of all ages. Earth's vision and power to change the land is related to the impact which change brings not only to the land, but to the many animal friends of Hill. As Hill evolves into Mountain, he seemingly loses his friends and has to face loneliness. "In Mountain, Tara Stuart has created food for the mind, heart, and soul, as she does so well. As a mother and teacher, I have always read and discussed meaningful stories with my children and pupils. And now - my great grandchildren, once hearing the thought provoking fable of Mountain, are saying, 'Please read it again." Judy Hall Mother and School Teacher in New Hampshire
