Product Description

"The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you . . ." ~Dan Rather

Great teachers are the unsung heroes of our lives. More than mere educators, they don't just dictate facts and check spelling, they transform lives. In My Teacher Is My Hero, you'll meet more than fifty unforgettable teachers who go the extra mile so their students can go the extra mile as well-making an impact that lasts long after the classroom.

From hard lessons learned on the playground to enlightening discussions in a professor's office, these are the tales of those lucky enough to learn from the best. In this moving collection, we celebrate the teachers who go above and beyond, enlightening not only our minds but our hearts, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK!!, August 10, 2008

By	Book Loving Mama "book loving fool" (Florida) - See all my reviews

What a great idea! I bought the book after a friend recommended it and i read it all the way through in three days! Really inspiring. I will buy another copy for my nephew who teaches. I hope they come out with others because this is so much better than the Chicken Soup books where the editors seem to let any kind of writing in the series. 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, Great Stories, Great Gift!, August 29, 2008

By	C. Kaczmarek (NY, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book collects some superb stories of teachers that have influenced our lives. Often touching, funny and inspirational, each story is a personal account of the positive energy created from the truly generous and caring nature of our educators. This is a great book for all to read as it lets us remember the influential teachers we may have had in the past, and is a great gift for any teacher you know.

To be a teacher is to be willing to give a gift to future generations, and this book wonderfully illustrates the ways those magnificent gifts are received.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC BOOK (and excellent teacher gift), June 1, 2008

By	Kristen (New York) - See all my reviews

I was scrambling to find the perfect gift for my son's teacher and heard about this book. It only took a quick flip through the pages to have me laughing, crying, then running to the cash register to buy it. I am buying additional copies for my teachers as the school year closes as gifts, as they sum up the way I feel (without me having to write it). I strongly recommend this book!!
