This book is built on the power of story. Jeanne Strong's memoir is an alive, inspiring testament to what happens when we follow our calling, reflecting deeply upon the journey every step of the way. At a time when teachers are buffeted by requirements that may have little to do with children and their learning, her book can help us remember why we went into teaching in the first place. Her tender wisdom will provide inspiration and practical support to anyone passionate about education, learning and empowering the next generation. The core principles derived from Jeanne's lifelong commitment to children can be applied anywhere in our world-a world so in need of a revolution in how we engage and nurture the potential of young people everywhere.
