Penelope Leach

En él, Penelope Leach hace un llamamiento para que nosotros, como individuos y como parte de la humanidad, pongamos por fin en practica nuestra habitual retorica sobre la importancia de la familia, y creemos las ayudas economicas y sociales indispensables de las que nuestros niños, lamentablemente, aun no pueden disfrutar.
