Amazon reviewers said:
“This turned out to be the best book I’ve read in a long time. It has the emotional impact of a book of fiction, and the educational value of a non-fiction book.”
“Such a wonderful book for any parent or teacher. It’s a magical read so much so you are transported to the classroom and wish you were a student there too with Kim.”
Book description by Floris Books:
- Written by a natural storyteller who expertly immerses the reader in the world of the classroom
- Explores the nature of wonder and intense sensation that children feel, and how best to preserve it
- Suggests that while mainstream education is the filling of a bucket, education should actually be about the lighting of a fire
- A funny, poignant memoir of a teacher’s six-year journey with her class, which also explores the nature of education and how to retain the element of wonder.
