Another holiday season is upon us, and many people are thinking about choosing gifts for their family and friends. Time to get going on that holiday shopping!

When making your gift list, I hope you will remember the dedicated teacher that has been working tirelessly during the pandemic to provide the best education he or she possibly can for your child or children. You could consider gifting that teacher with a copy of an inspirational book. What a wonderful way to thank them for all their hard work. Or, if the teacher we are speaking of is you, you could indulge yourself and stock up on something inspirational to read during your upcoming and much-anticipated Winter Break.

I have two splendid titles to suggest:  Chalkboard Champions: Twelve Remarkable Teachers who Educated America’s Disenfranchised Students (available here) and Chalkboard Heroes: Twelve Courageous Teachers and Their Deeds of Valor (available here). Each one available in print or in e-book formats and is reasonably priced.

If you are looking for a light-hearted book with positive messages to gift to a young one, say between the ages of 8 and 12, consider my most recent book, Unleashed! The Dog Park Chronicles (available here). This volume makes good reading for adults as well.

As always, happy winter holidays to you and yours!
