		<title>Becoming the Person You Were Meant to Be</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s me in the first row of Miss Giesel&#8217;s Grade 3-4 at Lewton Elementary School, Lansing Michigan, April 6th, 1962.

		<description><![CDATA[If you can get your hands on a copy of this little book, originally published in 1957, you are in for an illuminating read. Described as tracing &#8220;the normal development of visualization in children between the ages of two and fifteen&#8230;from the earliest scibble and chance forms, through the first schematic formulae, to pictures that [...]]]></description>
