My Take on the Book
This was a beautifully done book that any teacher will appreciate. With both my wife, mother, father and many others in my family being educators, I have to say that all of the sentiments shared in this were ones that they (and I) could relate to easily. Saying this though, any person will come to a better understanding and appreciation for the work that teachers do in looking at the short thoughts shared by the author.
I truly can see this book being shared as a special gift for any teacher or teacher to be. I know that all will be impressed when you read this book!
