Seeking Warmth and Light is filled with funny, sad, and inspirational articles, in-depth information, and lively illustrations and photos. This book will be read, reread, and incorporated into family life and the teaching profession. Written over several years and gathered here by educator, grandparent, and adventure-seeker Jean Moule, the collection has special meaning for teachers, parents and grandparents seeking to understand and support bicultural children.

Jean's other column collections, Ask Nana Jean and Nurturing Grandchildren Black, White, and In-between were precursors to this complete collection.

Sections are Preparing for the Journey, Sights and Insights along the way, Overcoming Obstacles, Guides on the Sides and Continuing on. A special inset is an Anti-Racist Graphic that illustrates how to work to help bring Warmth and Light to everyone in our USA seeking it.

A reviewer of one of the partial collections noted:

Within the book is a great history lesson of race relations Jean experienced over her own lifetime. She describes her childhood and young adult life experiences, as well as those of her own biracial children...The book addresses very well the decisions and explorations of racial identity that a multicultural person faces during childhood and beyond. Information based on personal experiences as well as professional study is provided.

But the thing I liked best about the book is that it could be about nurturing any child, regardless of color. Her opinion is that every child who is encouraged, loved and free to make choices without judgment is most often going to thrive and will eventually create a perfect and unique identity. Moule's descriptions of her nurturing presence as a parent and grandparent, the family's wonderful cousins camp and together time, and professional explanations about cultural differences make this a great read.

Moule's travels over the years, with or without children and family, add to the adventures to be found in this book.

The editor of Skipping Stones, Arun Toke, and Dr. Jean Moule are pleased to share the complete collection of Nana Jean's contributions to the magazine over 14 years.
