From the back cover:

Teaching Quaker faith and practice to children is perhaps the most important job a Friend can have. Quaker Values: A First Day School Curriculum for Children Ages 9–11 excels as an aid to all First Day School teachers no matter what size the class. Each of the 14 units contains stories from Biblical, Quaker and secular sources that speak to the topic of the week. Exercises, questions and activities supplement the lesson and provide variety and fun. Two appendices provide easy to use material for preparation and sending home to parents.

Praise:

This publication is a very comprehensive scheme of work for anyone looking for resources for the Children’s class at meeting. Intended for those working with young people (9 to 11 years) the material can either be used as it stands —- which would make for quite an intensive continuous programme —- or to be dipped into to meet the needs of a mixed age group, where the Children’s class perhaps only met irregularly. Many activities could be adapted for a wider age range than the above.

The topics in themselves are stimulating and adult in their breadth. The young people would not feel patronized, and inexperienced helpers at a Children’s class could well find themselves working with some thought-provoking material. It could be a learning experience for attenders who are undertaking work with children or for non-Quaker teachers in a mainstream school setting.
