"""I so enjoyed reading this book. It helped me rethink the struggles I am observing in students as we return to school during and following the pandemic. We know kids need connection and belonging and quality relationships to learn, but when we are in survival mode ourselves, it can be hard to remember. This book explains it all and provides helpful examples and research to support what we know is good for our students and ourselves. I can’t wait to share it with colleagues and put the ideas presented here into practice."" -- Heidi Guadagni"
