“An important book for all teachers to read, from beginners to experienced practitioners.” ― Ann Lieberman, Stanford University

I feel so fortunate to have written, co-written, and edited books that have been read widely and recognized nationally and internationally. People often say that my writing is “unconventional” in academic circles, but I say that we need more “education” books that incorporate the world beyond the four walls of school. Many readers contact me to say it’s the first time they have ever seen their personal experiences reflected in a book about teaching and they felt moved and inspired like never before. In these moments, the hard work of bringing books to life are all worth it.

I love to weave novelistic prose, poetry, images, graphica, memoir, and social and political commentary into deep explorations about how we live in the world, how we teach and learn, and the things that matter most in our lives.

Perfect for book clubs, teacher inquiry groups, and undergraduate and graduate courses, each of these books opens up unique and powerful perspectives for doing education and life in ways that can meet our most hopeful imaginations.
