If I were still teaching, I would love to use this book from all that I have seen of it so far. (Since I'm not teaching now, don't put me in for the giveaway.) Reading your poem, I felt like I was back in high school with those curtains (except we were Golden Demons in stead of Blue Devils) and creaky stage.

And you took me back to one of my own, one during which I stood in front of the whole elementary school holding a stuffed koala, to which I was to sing "You Light Up My Life." Of course I'd sung this millions of times on the swingset...but where did the words go? xxx<br /><br />Thank you for highlighting this book. I love the activist slant and the caring of the children.
