PORTRAITS OF CHARACTER by Claudia Cangilla McAdam, et. al.
"Stories teach by attraction; they invite rather than impose. They inspire as well as instruct, touching the heart as they enlighten the mind. They give us concrete images of goodness. Ultimately, they help shape our character and our lives. PORTRAITS OF CHARACTER is a gold mine of such stories." --Thomas Lickona, Author, EDUCATING FOR CHARACTER
