ing career. I had always been captivated by children's imaginations and their inquisitive spirits.... Their eagerness to learn. Teaching new skills to entire classrooms of students was an exciting opportunity.

In just a short while, I realized that it wasn't just me who was the teacher. As I shared in these children's daily lives, I also shared their hearts. They began teaching me life lessons, so I wrote this book to share these children's spirits with others. My hope is that my readers will laugh, will cry, and will see the world through the heart of a child. I challenge those who may be entering the teaching profession to be receptive to all that their own "little teachers" can teach them about life, the heart of a child, and how to make a difference.
