In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Christine Devane from Massachusetts. Christine is a mother of three young children, experienced classroom teacher, and author of the children’s book "Elephant Beach." Her book reflects upon her own experiences as a shy youngster, and it emphasizes the importance of knowing that people are different, and that we can choose to be kind and accepting of everyone. Christine shares practical advice for parents and educators on fostering a love of reading, utilizing local libraries, and encouraging children to follow their interests. We discuss turning everyday moments and outings into learning opportunities, emphasizing that education happens everywhere, not just in the classroom.
