"A mildly interesting read about one educator's experiences with race in the classroom. The book might have flowed better if the vignettes didn't seem so separated and the author didn't waver between discussing cultural issues in the classroom and the importance of play in kindergarten. I might recommend this one to those in the teaching profession interested in reflecting upon race issues in classrooms, but be forewarned that it is not the best book---at least it was a quick read!"
"I read this book for a class called Multicultural Education. Paley discusses her experiences as a kindergarten teacher, and the issues she faced in a multicultural classroom. She explains how she overcame barriers and how she learned from her students. It's a very interesting, easy read! Paley makes you challenge the way you think about race and she demonstrates the importance of treating every child equally. I only wish Paley had shared some useful tips or lesson plans."
