Dear keepers of the environment,

I am pleased to provide you with a play that is sure to become an important part of your program this year and for years to come. This play has been performed at schools, a church music camp and environmental fund-raisers. Because of the great reviews and feedback from this involvement, I have created materials for you to produce an enjoyable, creative, educational play. Life Is A Cycle teaches important social values of teamwork, responsibility, respect and participation.

This play was written as my gift to the people of Planet Earth in celebration and gratitude for my life. Appreciation for life is a learned process beginning at birth. When family, friends, and teachers share the miracle of nature with children, they are expressing and teaching love for life on our planet. It is my hope that people more fully appreciate the gift of life and are grateful for the planet that supports them. Furthermore, I wish for this play and its songs to be remembered and passed on to generations forever

Pass it on,

Jack G. Maynard, Jr.
