An African adage says that a man who builds a house without building his children only builds what the children will later sell. Similarly, a nation that builds its economy and political structures without putting the National Values into considerations builds what the citizens will later destroy. Plutarch said, "the richest soil, uncultivated produces the rankest weeds." This probably explains reasons the rich soil (natural and other resources) in some African countries produces the rankest weeds in the forms of social vices and crimes. To cultivate Ghanaian rich soil, people in the positions of influence such as parents; school teachers; political and other leaders need to invest a lot of their time and resources in grooming young minds into responsible and reasonable citizens. Thus investing much resources on politics, economy and other things at the expense of raising future leaders by teaching young minds values is a great risk This book which is designed for Primary and Junior Secondary School Students teaches National Values that are embedded in the national anthem and the pledge to the nation through the use of 26 stories, poems and class activities; some of which are selected from the author's books titled Foundation and Young Generation Bible Club Story Books. With each of the stories titled with a line or a topic in the anthem and the pledge, the book teaches young minds civic responsibilities and moral lessons some of which are viewed from Christian perspectives, serving as reminders of the purposes of the National Anthem and The Pledge To Ghana.
