The conflict that hurts you so? Crack it open to find the gem: your purpose, what matters to you.
Holly Elissa Bruno, Happiness is Running Through the Streets to Find You

Responding to our recent survey, Ursula Costin, an Early Learning Specialist from Washington, DC, thoughtfully shared two key influences for her work:

From Teaching to Thinking by Margie Carter and Ann Pelo
“This book anchors me when I am adrift. Ann Pelo and Margie Carter express such deep respect for children and their teachers. Most of their ideas are ones that I have held close throughout my work life. In many settings I have felt alone and alien but return to this book for the many affirmations it offers. Each reading opens new windows and inspires wonder - and joy. I do belong here!”

Happiness is Running Through the Streets to Find You by Holly Elissa Bruno
“Beginning with the vibrant, joyful cover illustrations, this book illuminated the value of determination and resilience. Holly Elissa Bruno and I share a similar past. Her honesty and bravery inspired me to recognize that I have the ability to respond to life without fear. Ms. Bruno feels like a friend.”
