An essential guide for teachers and parents, The Art of Teaching Children is one of those rare and exceptional books that define an art and offer a captivating reading experience. After more than thirty years in the classroom, award-winning teacher Phillip Done decided it was time to retire. However, a teacher's work never truly ends, and he decided to write the biggest lesson of his career: a book for educators and parents that would convey everything he learned about working with children.

From the anxieties of the first day of school to the tears of the last day, Done writes about the art of teaching, classrooms and curricula, the challenges of the profession, and the reason all teachers do it - the children. Drawing from decades of experience, he shares tried-and-true tips and wise advice: real learning is messy, not linear. Greeting children in the morning as they enter the classroom is an important part of the school day.

Done discusses topics you won't find in any other teaching book, such as the concerns of Back to School Night, teacher pride, Sunday Night Syndrome, and teacher guilt. He examines some of the most important issues facing schools today: bullying, excessive screen time, and the system's obsession with testing. But The Art of Teaching Children is more than a guide to educating young students. These pages are filled with inspiration, humor, and humanity.

With great intelligence and wisdom, irresistible storytelling, and abundant compassion, The Art of Teaching Children is the new "bible" for teachers, parents, and everyone who works with children and cares for their learning and success.
