These are the years when children learn to trust or not to trust, and acquire social and critical thinking skills. However, of all the \"advanced\" countries in the world, the United States alone doesn't adequately serve the learning needs of its young children, who are our citizens of tomorrow.   \"We have Head Start,\" says Benton, \"but it serves only a small portion of America's children and families. Yet, if all children could, in a safe and stable environment, learn these social and critical thinking skills, we would see far less violence and war in the world. My desire to increase awareness of this is the driving force behind my mystery, Crucial Time.\"   Elspeth Benton, MA in Early Childhood Education, taught parenting classes through Pasadena City College, directed a co-op preschool, and all-day, year-round child care centers in southern California. She has spent several years living in France, and has appeared in four amateur musicals in Santa Rosa. She also proofreads/edits books. Elspeth lives with her black-and-white cat, Pip, in Santa Rosa, California, near her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She is a member of Redwood Writers, and recently chaired its Short Story Contest."},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["Benton, Elspeth"]},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by Elspeth Benton in the <a href=\"https://find.sonomalibrary.org/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=%22Benton%2C+Elspeth%22&te=&rt=false%7C%7C%7CAuthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">library catalog</a>"},{"label":"Author Website","value":"View <a href=\"http://www.elspethbenton.com/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personal or professional website</a> for Elspeth Benton"},{"label":"Search Author in Open Library","value":"Search for works by Elspeth Benton in <a href=\"https://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=Benton+Elspeth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Library</a>"},{"label":"Author's Place(s) of Residence","value":["Santa Rosa"]},{"label":"Sort Title","value":"Elspeth Benton"},{"label":"Significant Title","value":"Crucial Time"},{"label":"Digital Archives Identifier","value":"elspeth_benton"},{"label":"Digital Archives Collection Name(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Date Added","value":"2015/04/30"},{"label":"Filename","value":"elspeth_benton.jpg"},{"label":"Title","value":"Elspeth Benton"},{"label":"Item Type","value":["Text"]},{"label":"Item Format or Genre","value":["Biography files","Bibliographies"]},{"label":"Search SC Local Arts for this Author or Artist","value":"<a href=\"https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?filter_363=elspeth_benton&applyState=true\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elspeth Benton</a>"},{"label":"Collection(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Author Name (Controlled)","value":["Elspeth Benton"]}],"description":"Elspeth Benton","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ceae6f3a-162d-4c28-89dd-a4c96cc60ad0/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"Elspeth Benton","height":450,"width":450,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ceae6f3a-162d-4c28-89dd-a4c96cc60ad0/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ceae6f3a-162d-4c28-89dd-a4c96cc60ad0","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1]}]},"height":450,"width":450},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ceae6f3a-162d-4c28-89dd-a4c96cc60ad0/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ceae6f3a-162d-4c28-89dd-a4c96cc60ad0/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ceae6f3a-162d-4c28-89dd-a4c96cc60ad0/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/logo"}
