Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. ~ Albert Einstein
I love fairy tales and fantastical stories from children’s books. I think they’re an integral part of childhood. They teach you to imagine and dream and remind us that the human mind has no limits in what it can think up…I believe in happy endings and I believe in fantasy…
But I also believe in logic, realism and common sense and I think it’s important to teach children about ‘real life’ heroes and idols. Keep them grounded by reality, but also let them know you can be anything you dream to be if you have to motivation to try. I want my kids to always remember that it’s cool to be smart AND creative.
One such person I’ve always looked up to was Albert Einstein. An absolute genius of a man, but someone who also embraced creativity and possibility of the unknown. Modern physics has been built upon his theory of relativity, most of which I can’t even begin to understand, but he was also a lover of music, the arts and a member of the NAACP who supported the fight against racism and fought for civil rights for African Americans. He changed the world of science and, in my opinion, changed the way we see and understand the universe.
So it’s no surprise I simply adore this tee from Wee Rascals. Lark loves it too and even knows his name and asks for her Einstein shirt. Even when she was sick this past week it wasn’t her snow princess pj’s she asked for, it was her Einstein shirt that she chose to pair with her rainbow pants.
I want my kids to idolize storybook heroes for their ingenuity, bravery and positive impact, but I also want them to idolize ‘smart’ heroes throughout our history who prove that creativity, intelligence and the courage to try can create a positive impact in our world…
So I’d love to give you all the opportunity to win a $25 credit to Wee Rascals so you can get a hero tee for your little!
