5.0 out of 5 stars
Very touching,
By HH (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nobody Don't Love Nobody: Lessons on Love from the School With No Name (Hardcover)
This is a book about a middle-class teacher who takes a job teaching homeless kids in Salt Lake City. She talks about the kids individually, the problems they had to face being homeless and the joys when she made a breakthrough. It was a lesson on hope and defiance of the odds. I found it especially touching when Karl Malone, a basketball player for the Utah Jazz, took the homeless students Christmas shopping and took them to a Jazz game. I found this to be a wonderful portrayal of the joys and trials of teaching homeless kids.

POWERFUL, INSIGHTFUL and DEEPLY TOUCHING,
This review is from: Nobody Don't Love Nobody: Lessons on Love from the School With No Name (Hardcover)
A beautifully written and honest collection of deeply touching stories that allows the reader a rare opportunity to see life through the tender, young eyes of a child living in a family homeless shelter, as told by their loving dedicated teacher. When the author was first asked to work in the 'School With No Name,' she had no specialized training or curriculum in working with this specialized population of students. But this pioneer let her heart be her guide as she created one of the best pilot programs in alternative education. Her stories will make you laugh, make you cry and will even make you angry. But most of all, it will challenge and inspire you to get involved and find your own special way of making a difference.

understanding children,
By L.A.O. (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nobody Don't Love Nobody: Lessons on Love from the School With No Name (Hardcover)
This book is about connecting with children and adults no matter their situation. It is about compassion and being non-judgemental. It is about seeing what is extraordinary in every child even when they are trying hard to hide from the world. Stacey Bess is intuitive, honest, straight-forward and compassionate. She connects with children not because she is perfect but because she realizes that she is human just like her students. If you want to find stories that will move you and inspire you, then this book is a path to that place.
