Description: "A beautiful gift book that offers encouragement, comfort, and inspiration for new (and veteran) teachers  This beautifully designed book is a celebration of the joys and challenges of the teaching life.

Her words of encouragement will resonate with new teachers, with students in teacher education schools, and with veteran teachers who wish to remember that they are not alone in an often lonely profession. From lesson plans to large classes; salaries to student engagement; germs to geometry-learning (or remembering) to love both the highs and lows of the profession has never been easier, or more fun.
