About the Book

"This is a beautiful book. It should be read by every beginning teacher, and it will lift the hearts of older teachers, too."Nel NoddingsAuthor of Happiness and Education"Reading each chapter brought me back to why I chose this profession and why I must stay. . . . The book can easily be read in one sitting although I recommend using each chapter as topics for reflection and introspection. This is one of those books I plan to keep and reread each time the going gets tough." Marta Cruz-Janzen, Associate ProfessorFlorida Atlantic University "Provides a 21st-century book that is a 'model' of what we would like education to be-a conversation and a journey. . . . It is well written, clever, engaging, entertaining, moving, and meaningful." Thomas Giblin, Superintendent of Schools East Lansing Public Schools, MI"Short, to the point, and written in a new and entertaining format that lends itself to extended, in-depth discussions among professionals. . . . The dialogue format and reflective nature create a genuine and authentic foundation on which to discuss the complex art of teaching." Sue Braun, Principal Rousseau Elementary School, Lincoln, NE "An easy read, but very powerful in its 'conversation' style. . . . It will stimulate rich discussion among its readers."
