Nothing speaks louder than a good role model. As a teacher and a father, I absolutely believe that. That's also why I love picture books which retell the lives of men and women who, from their very childhoods, proved themselves to be innovative, independent, and incredibly resolute. So while this post (and the next) might be seen as my ''doing ...

When you introduce it, make sure they understand that they are going to have to check back in several times to see what happens.  I always give them all journals to draw and ...
