Class Set of FISH IN A TREE Giveaway #SupportTeachers

Greetings, Teachers and School Librarians,


What strange times these are, huh? I have been thinking of you all, knowing that whether you are distance teaching from home or in your school building, these times are full of unique challenges. There are plans that seem to change daily. There is uncertainty. There are times when you, as teachers on the front lines, do not feel seen and supported.


But you

Quotes by Lynda Mullaly Hunt  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Everyone is smart in different ways. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life thinking that it’s stupid.”
Lynda Mullaly Hunt, Fish In A Tree

“Well…alone is a way to be. It’s being by yourself with no one else around. And it can be good or bad. And it can be a choice…. But being lonely is never a choice. It’s not about who is with you or not. You can feel lonely when you are alone, but the worst kind of lonely is when you’re in a room full of people, but you’re still alone. Or you feel like you are anyway.”
Lynda Mullaly Hunt, Fish in a Tree

“Do you know what courage is? It's being afraid and doing it anyway.”
Lynda Mullaly Hunt, One for the Murphys
