My mother gifted this to me - some stories are pretty nice and there are a few quotes in there from actual children. So it's readable, just not very inspirational tbh.

This was a gift. I am just not an "inspirational stories" kind of person when it feels so separate from my day to day work as a teacher. I feel more inspired by personal accounts that are well written and cohesive, like Educating Esme.

A gift from the in-laws...actually some pretty neat little stories and thoughts.

Quick read before going to bed. Enjoyed the stories and reminders about impacting students, keeping things in perspective, having vision, reflecting on my classes, connecting with the Lord and trusting Him, and enjoying my profession.

I am not certain if this is mine or my wife's book. It's not that it matters, but it was a gift from one of our students . . . I just don't recall whose.

I haven't read it. I tend to shy away from the drippy inspirational stuff.
