Children are a gift from God. Eda Le Shan, a U.S. educator, wrote this in her book The Conspiracy Against Childhood:

"Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things—wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete - babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring."
