Climbing the Stairs was selected by Booklinks as one of the Best New Books for the Classroom. At the University of Rhode Island, the book is being used as a text by Dr. Diane Kern in her course for teachers in training. A CD has been created which contains a short interview with Dr. Barnard LaFayette, distinguished scholar in residence at the University’s Center for Peace and Nonviolence, in which he discusses the book.
I enjoy speaking at libraries and schools, lecturing at universities, and conducting workshops on various subjects for children and adults.
If you would like to use the book in the classroom or learn more about the University of Rhode Island Climbing the Stairs project, please email me.
