Books That Celebrate the Powerful Work of Teachers
This year has been incredibly difficult for our society- locally and globally. Our teachers have had to show a greater deal of strength, resilience, innovation, and compassion for their work, communities, and, most importantly, their students. As parents or community members, we may not see the magic that happens inside the classroom, but we must acknowledge the strength and value of an educator as they wear 10 different hats daily. The books on this list celebrate teachers as they exemplify role models, educators, confidence builders, resource specialists, caregivers, and so much more. If you haven't already, thank a teacher in your life! 🙏🏾
