The Lesson: A Fable for Our Times

Almost everyone remembers doing story problems in school. But as bestselling author Carol Lynn Pearson demonstrates, those story problems don't end with a diploma. In fact the equations big boys and girls face are often the most challenging — and the most rewarding.

Told in the charming, straightforward tradition of a classic fable, and illustrated as richly as a favorite children's story, Pearson's modern-day tale will inspire every adult facing his or her own life challenges.
