Teaching moment. Sometimes we find teachers in the most unexpected places. Who surprised you as a teacher this year, and what did you learn?
My teachers this year were silent and I met them in a classroom of dust. Their lessons were made of tears and heartbreak, yet the curriculum’s objective was
endurance
moving on
courage through adversity
grace
honor in sorrow
And I was their attentive student. Listening to their quiet. Closing my eyes and hearing the rhythmic lectures in the wind. I heard them whispering. I wrote standards in my heart
I know you.I remember you.I feel you.
Here.
I left my teachers there, in their classrooms, waiting. I won’t be back; they don’t need me to return. I won’t find them there if I did.
I wrote and illustrated my first bestseller, "The Lovely Unicorn" in the second grade and I've been terrified of success ever since.

We write our books and become Mrs. America together. But this was particularly beautiful.
I love this, and I love the photo. And I love how we all keep teaching each other.

Wow. That is so very cool.
So, when do you write a book?
