Can't wait to get my own!

Ok, so I browsed this book in the library, but I just can't wait to get one of my own! I met Sharon Draper recently and as a student teacher she offered me the best advice I have gotten so far. "Don't let anyone talk you out of being a teacher!" I have read a lot of her young adult literature, and I just love her. Meeting her only cemented the fact that she truely deserved the title of National Teacher of the Year.

Awesome Book!

This book is wonderful. It's great for encouragement both to the veteran teacher and inspiration for the beginning teacher. The chapter titled "Candles" is a must read for all teachers who are beginning to wonder why they teach. This would make a great gift for anyone involved in education.
