In the mail... Hope you enjoy this! =)

This book arrived in the mail while I was out-of-town last week. Thanks for the RABCK, havfaith. As a teacher, I am really looking forward to reading this book.

Excellent book! I don't want to give away anything about the book because I plan to start a bookring with it sometime in the near future. I think that teachers and principals in particular would enjoy reading it. Here is one of my favorite quotes from the book:

p. 37-38 "Talent and artistry are rare. Creativity is not. We are all born with a potential and a capacity for creativity. Catastrophically, this potential is crushed out of most of us at an early age, first by our parents, later by our teachers. 'What - you drew a red horse? Who ever heard of a red horse?' The five-year-old soon learns adults don't like it when he's different. Our girls, however, continue to be creative because they have survived the conformity process, because they continue to diverge from the norm, despite all pressure to stop."

Thanks so much for sharing this book, havfaith!

Let the bookring begin! Today I mailed this book to matwain - another BCer in Niceville, Florida.

I got this book in the mail this week.I look forward to reading it. Thank you for including me in your bookring,raralovestoread!

I really enjoyed reading this book. I sent this to Birdie, the next person in the bookring.

Just received this to participate in a Bookring. Should be great fun. I've been looking forward to it.
