Acknowledgments
The thinking that goes into a book is hardly a solo act. For me, it included many conversations with dedicated and insightful educators. Along the way, they took the time to read the drafts that became this book. I owe many thanks to Micah Artz, Lisa Brady, Leah Christman, Elaine Eib, Kelly Fry, Richard Fry, Bryan Goodwin, Ayanna Hill-Gill, Sheila King, Jeff Mancabelli, Mark Matuska, Jon Pennington, Jenna Shaw, Kristen Swanson, Joan Wade, Lisa Wilson, and Randy Ziegenfuss.
Deborah Farmer Kris, I owe you an extra helping of thanks for reading and providing feedback on multiple drafts.
Vanida Vae, thank you for transforming simple hand drawings into the powerful curation, design, and feedback images in this book.
Will Richardson, thank you for including my voice in this series. Solution Tree staff Kari Gillesse, Kendra Slayton, Amy Rubenstein, and Ashante Thomas, thank you for all your help and support along the way.
Karen Zumwalt, thanks for being such an incredible role model.
Marta and Walter Allen, it’s a book!
Rob Mancabelli, thank you for your wisdom and good humor throughout the process. I love you.
