"Love the book, not only because the writer is my ultimate Fave teacher, but because I can relate to the message. Mrs. Mercado changed my life, just like Mrs. Melendez changed the kiddos life."
-Carlos Rivera "This beautiful and relevant story, available in English and Spanish is just the story many of our students and teachers need to hear. A true retelling of how one teacher can make a difference and the power of our words. I will share this with students and as a tool for professional development. Thank you for sharing your story!"

"Very beautiful book, the perfect book to read at loud to our students and kiddos. My kiddos loved it and their messages about self-esteem it’s very important to many today’s kids. We as teachers, future teachers and parents must teach our future leaders that they matter, we care about them and of course that they are not invisible." -Jose Miguel Osornio "The moral is everything and it’s very easy to understand for a child." -Chrystal |
