Small Acts of Magic

Ann Pelo and Margie Carter, in the foreword to the popular new book, Cup, part of the Reimagining Our Work (ROW) collection, explain what they believe the book has to teach about the power of early childhood education:

“This book is instruction for educators [and] also potent instruction for people who don’t spend their days with children: listen beyond ‘children say the darnedest things,’ look below the stacking and bashing and your understanding of children’s capacities and educators’ work will be transformed…

The story of the children, the educators, the families, and the cups embodies the conviction that education both requires and nurtures imagination, determination, vision, humility, experimentation, relationships, and listening. Bridgette, Angela [the educators], the children, and their families demonstrate the generosity, playfulness, and intellectual vitality of a community anchored by these qualities – a community alive with small acts of magic.”
