Autorenporträt
As a child, Tim Gerard valued the time he spent listening to stories and having family conversations. He wishes all children could enjoy that same luxury. In a world of increasing competition for control of a child's attention, he hopes the closets and inner vaults of their minds will be filled with parental answers and the wisdom to fight off all the human and technical vultures encountered in our time. The cozy fireplace and hearth rug where Gerard sat during his childhood may not be available to all kids growing up today. Still, he hopes every child will leave the family gathering spot armored with caring advice and fond memories.
