Loving Tribute to Teachers, with Deep Gratitude

This book is a loving tribute to all the teachers out there. Teachers giving each and every child attention, inspiration, and acceptance. Teachers help shape leaders of our future world and I cannot emphasize how amazing this is. Personally, I owe so much to one teacher who has shared her life's lessons and mentored me over the years. This book, to me, is about my teacher and all the teachers out there who put their life on the line to educate and grow kids who will one day lead our earth.

A love song to teachers everywhere!

Frank, Barbara, and Kayla did a fantastic job of capturing the heart of what it means to be a teacher both in and out of the classroom. Teachers will see themselves in this book whether they work in classrooms, the arts, or sports, and readers will recognize the ways in which teachers have touched their lives. Inspirational and heartfelt, this book would make a wonderful gift for any teacher, from veterans to those just starting out.

Special read

Love this book! The book came quickly and I even ordered another one to gift to my teacher friend. Special read aloud that would touch the heart of any teacher. I went back as well an order the Girl like you and boy like you for both my children. Strongly suggest for others.

Perfect for the times

This book put into words what a lot of parents felt towards educators this past year. My oldest is in preschool and this book was the perfect “gift” for his teachers. They took a scary time and guided little ones through it ebbing and flowing as guidelines fluctuated. I read the book to my son and he referenced his teachers throughout and his own experiences as well. We have a copy and gifted a copy.

Meaningful and Inspiring!

This book is a treasure. Our school district used this book to celebrate the important work educators do each and every day (and we hid some under seats for a giveaway!) The last page of this book summarizes the opportunity we have each and every day to impact kids.

Perfect teacher gift

I was looking for the perfect teacher appreciation gift for my sons Autistic Support teacher who hes been with for two years. I got this book and when I read it I knew i made the right choice. It described her to a T. I wrote a special note in it for her too. She loved it so much she cried, and she told me shes not a crier. Definitely a great gift to get a teacher.

Purchased for a Teacher Appreciation gift, and I highly recommend it

I absolutely love love this book, and definitely recommend it.
We purchased this book for a first time teacher that taught our princess for her first year in school (pre-k). And I absolutely love it, and hope her teacher loves it too.
