"Tales from a Teaching Life anticipates life for beginning teachers . and generates memories for those like the author who have spent their lives in sundry classrooms at all levels."--Virginia McGee Butler, retired teacher and author of Becoming Ezra Jack Keats "Teachers are the backbone of, and best hope for, human society, but you don't have to be one to enjoy this honest, insightful, and captivating read. Highly recommended." --Leslie Staub, author of If You Were An Elephant "Poignant yet whimsical, Tales from a Teaching Life is a bit of truth we'd all be better for hearing. Any teacher will see parts of themselves reflected on the page, echoing across time and space with the evidence of a life well lived. Brava!"--Marti Dumas, author of the Wildseed Witch series.
