Lovely, Tender, and Special Story Jan 30, 2010
By J. Stone
A lovely and tender story, told lovingly and tenderly.
This is a simple story, one that is repeated every day, year in and year out, but is rarely ever told. Even more rarely is it told with such human-ness and humanity.
The author paints a wonderful picture of the impact teachers have on their students (and vice versa), by conveying the fears, hopes, and dreams of a "special" student. The reality is -- Special or not, we all will see ourselves in this story.
Bill also pays a beautiful and touching tribute to his hometown. The story and tribute are enhanced by outstanding illustrations that are not to be missed!
I shed some tears as I read this book (and again as I recall the story). You will, too, as you recount special people with an impact on your life. Thank you, Bill!

Teachers impact lives and never know it Mar 28, 2009
By Amy Schneider
Thank You Mr. Brown, and Merry Christmas is a wonderful reflection on how a special needs teacher touched the life of one child. Even though Mr. Brown may have not known it, he impacted Nancy's life forever by listening and encouraging her. This story outlines how just one teacher can help a child forever.
The story is set in a small town in the winter. The imagery and depictions of what it was like in the 1930's makes you feel like you are there.
Teachers make a difference in children's lives every day. As you read this book it wil make you think of the one teacher that impacted your life the most!
