This book is wonderful. It's great for encouragement both to the veteran teacher and inspiration for the beginning teacher. The chapter titled "Candles" is a must read for all teachers who are beginning to wonder why they teach. This would make a great gift for anyone involved in education.

Ok, so I browsed this book in the library, but I just can't wait to get one of my own! I met Sharon Draper recently and as a student teacher she offered me the best advice I have gotten so far. "Don't let anyone talk you out of being a teacher!" I have read a lot of her young adult literature, and I just love her. Meeting her only cemented the fact that she truely deserved the title of National Teacher of the Year.

Teaching from the Heart is a wonderful book. I originally discovered this jewel at my local library. I began to read it and decided it was a must have. I also purchased copies for some close friends who just received their bachelors degree to teach. This book is very inspiring. It will definitely encourage your heart and rejuvenate you, I love it!
