Did we perhaps learn everything we need to know in kindergarten? Through personal stories and essays written with a playful spirit and sensitivity, Robert Fulghum turns everyday moments into life lessons.

He urges us to remember what we learned as children, expand it with adult terms, and apply it to family life, work, government, and the planet.

“All moral principles and love… ecology and politics and equality and mental health” are found on the playground. “The kindergarten worldview is not for children. It is not simplistic. It is fundamental.”

A worldwide bestseller for decades. It has been translated into 37 languages, sold millions of copies in 103 countries, adapted hundreds of times for the theater, and has inspired school programs.

R. Fulghum is an author, clergyman, philosopher, and sought-after public speaker. He was born in Texas in 1937 and today divides his time between the USA and Crete.
