description: Countless "how-to" parenting books are on the market. Why yet another? Author Lolita L. Jardeleza relates that after many years of parenting, it suddenly dawned on her that a mother's primary function is to help her children discover just how wonderful they are. She also took on the task of sharing her story at the behest of her eleven children, who are now parenting themselves and want to cherish their children just as they were cherished. 'Compost Makes the Strawberries Grow' is not all saccharine and sweetness; it get down to the brass tack of everyday family living. The author tackles a wide range of real-life issues with all the honest, heart, and humor of an Erma Bombeck. The issues she deals with include sibling power, fighting the good fight, honest, being kind to others, obedience, values, and cultural literacy. This is a book that treats parenting with gratitude and grace.
