"Montessori Children" by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey considers an alternative approach to education. The book is about the Montessori education method, and how it impacts the growth of a child's character through free learning using physical interactions, activities, and tools. As Bailey witnessed in Rome, children like Margherita learn in an environment that allows them to explore and be independent, which has a strong effect on the lives of young children. The author shows it is important kids are allowed the freedom, and that they have a safe place where they can grow and learn new things. According to the beliefs of Maria Montessori, the book pushes for letting children grow and learn on their own instead of being pushed and held to outdated teaching styles.
