Excerpt from Hymns for Schools and Families: Specially Designed for the Children of the Church This collection of Hymns is specially designed for the children of the Church. Its publication does not, of course, intimate that the young people are not to use the Hymn Books employed in Public, Social, and Domestic Worship; but as there are many hymns in those books which are not suitable to the young; and as there are many juvenile hymns which were purposely excluded from them, that have been admitted into the present volume, it is hoped that it will not be considered a superfluous addition to the psalmody of the Church. A very few of the hymns are original: a number are taken from our Church Hymn Books: the rest have been collected from a variety of sources, the names of the authors, when known, being prefixed.

Excerpt from The Children's Hymn Book: For Use in Children's Services, Sunday Schools and Families; Arranged in Order of the Church's Year Of the tunes it may equally be said that neither labour nor expense has been spared in their preparation, and that the endeavour worthily to set the hymns to music, has been the work of several years. One great object has been to provide pleasing melodies, such as children can easily learn, and at the same time to secure the sound harmonies which shall accustom their ears to what is good. A simpler tune has occasionally been substituted for that generally set. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A guide for families of all backgrounds to celebrate cultural heritage and embrace inclusivity in the home and beyond. Gone are the days when socially conscious parents felt comfortable teaching their children to merely tolerate others. Instead, they are looking for a way to authentically embrace the fullness of their diverse communities. A Place to Belong offers a path forward for families to honor their cultural heritage and champion diversity in the context of daily family life by: • Fostering open dialogue around discrimination, race, gender, disability, and class • Teaching “hard history” in an age-appropriate way • Curating a diverse selection of books and media choices in which children see themselves and people who are different • Celebrating cultural heritage through art, music, and poetry • Modeling activism and engaging in community service projects as a family Amber O’Neal Johnston, a homeschooling mother of four, shows parents of all backgrounds how to create a home environment where children feel secure in their own personhood and culture, enabling them to better understand and appreciate people who are racially and culturally different. A Place to Belong gives parents the tools to empower children to embrace their unique identities while feeling beautifully tethered to their global community.
