Excellent way to kick off 2026!

The way the author shared her authentic experience with kids and how they have been both educator and student while being an employee in the classroom, really reflected my thoughts, feelings. Grateful for people like this!

Amazing Narration!

The structure of your stories leading into “that’s not what this is about” was such a clever way to prove your points.

I loved your narration and feel like I got way more out of the aside commentary than I would have by just reading the book.

I am a 29 year old English/theatre teacher and this book has embodied the way I try to navigate my classroom. Thank you for sharing your stories!

Not what this review is about! Jk

This review is ALL about the book and Jo!!! Listened while painting a room and felt like she was sitting there reading it while I worked. Loved and appreciate the candid “remarks” during her reading! Had me loving her cat, answering her back while she read, and saying right along with Jo, ”That’s not what this book is about!” Lolol

JJ’s wit and sense of humor during her reading.

I liked it all! But as a grandmother, her stories about hers brought bittersweet feelings and tears.

How relatable it is to a generation or two after my Gen X

Education has changed so much. I’m glad the youngest have Joanna to look up to!
