The Cracked Pot's Gift: Stories to Challenge and Comfort is an enchanting collection of age-old tales from around the world, each illuminated with the author's own captivating stories. A rich and wide-ranging banquet of a book meant for browsing, inspiring, comforting, challenging-a book that invites sharing; stories that invite telling and re-telling.
Each world tale is followed by stories that delve into what it means to be human, to be fallible, and to encounter new and unexpected situations with curiosity and the courage born of an open heart. Each story is uniquely paired with an intriguing question to contemplate, a roadmap that encourages readers to discover and recover their own stories. Unique and to be treasured, The Cracked Pot's Gift offers up tales that have the power to heal, to touch hearts and minds, to gift us with our most ancient and delicious ways of understanding what it means to be who we are and who we want to be.
In the marvelous book The Cracked Pot's Gift, Nancy King reminds us of the magic of storytelling: one story leads to another. Each story prompts us, as readers, to reflect on and share our own stories in a process of discovery, healing, and connection. I finished the book with a renewed commitment to share and create stories with students of all ages!
