"Diane Hodges has an innate ability to capture the thoughts and feelings of educators. With her latest endeavor she has combined powerful quotes with equally powerful photography and art work. You need to go no further than a few pages to find the perfect quote and art to compliment any Power Point presentation. Teachers may even wish to use these beautiful pages as mini posters in their classrooms to encourage and motivate students. The uses are endless." -- Deb Macklin, Secretary "I like using these quotes and graphics in communications with parents and students who are participating in our Hispanic Futures Conference series." -- Mike Perez, Jr., Parent Program Specialist "A wonderful mix of art and wisdom and a delightful resource for any educator or administrator. The quotes are perfectly suitable for framing, for use in a PowerPoint slideshow before an inservice session, or simply for personal enlightenment. This book will touch your heart and leave a lasting impression." -- William R. Warren, Teacher "A brilliant compilation of quotes and illustrations. This book enhances the relevance of the lesson plan and saves teachers countless hours of searching the Internet for that perfect inspiration! Bravo!" -- Patti Kenworthy, Instructional Manager "The pictures and quotes are very inspirational for teaching staff and students. They would be excellent in lesson plans and PowerPoint presentations." -- Sue Conklin, Director "Diane Hodges's refreshing insight into educators' hearts and heads rekindles and reconnects the passion of teaching with the fun that it can be." -- Susan Symons, Career and Technical Education Consultant "This is a truly magical book that reminds me why I went into teaching and continue to love what I do." -- Patricia Stubbs, Third-Grade Teacher
