"This is a beautiful book. It should be read by every beginning teacher, and it will lift the hearts of older teachers, too."
"Provides a 21st century book that is a 'model' of what we would like education to be--a conversation and a journey. . . . It is well written, clever, engaging, entertaining, moving, and meaningful."
"Short, to the point, and written in a new and entertaining format that lends itself to extended, in-depth discussions among professionals. . . . The dialogue format and reflective nature create a genuine and authentic foundation on which to discuss the complex art of teaching."
"An easy read, but very powerful in its 'conversation' style. . . . It will stimulate rich discussion among its readers."
"Reading each chapter brought me back to why I chose this profession and why I must stay. . . . The book can easily be read in one sitting although I recommend using each chapter as topics for reflection and introspection. This is one of those books I plan to keep and reread each time the going gets tough."
