Words For Teachers To Live By

by Mary Engelbreit

In the fourth installment of Words to Live By series, Mary Engelbreit turns her attention to teachers-those who teach inside the classroom and out. The result is sure to win high marks from educators and the rest of her fans.
Strong memories of her own early school days coupled with a deep respect for the work teachers do every day has made teaches (and school children too, of course) frequent subjects of Mary's artwork. "I guess it's my little way of showing appreciation for a severely under-appreciated group," she says.
As in the other Words to Live By books, Mary's artwork is presented alongside inspirational quotes from famous writers, scholars, statesmen, and students-this time with words that pay tribute to the practitioners of this most noble profession. Teachers love Mary Engelbreit, and this book shows that the feeling is mutual.
