I BECAME AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OUTLAW
FRANK NAPPI’S MEMOIR IS WARM, WITTY AND WISE.
He vividly captures the heart of a universal experience: what it is like for a child trying to navigate the education system and what a huge difference a good--and bad--teacher can make. So much so, that the impact of those teachers still shapes our lives and behavior decades later. Frank Nappi exposes how a sensitive little boy becomes a childhood rebel -- “I had small arms and shoulders and a huge reputation to lug around.” -- and shares how this rebel grew up to become a successful teacher and author. Nappi brings to life how important it is for teachers -- and adults -- to truly “see kids” -- how their simple encouragement can mean so much, and their careless indifference or outright cruelty can be so damaging. You’ll enjoy spending time with Frank Nappi and his recollections and epiphanies. His life story will surely resonate with your own. - John Owens, author of the bestseller Confessions of a Bad Teacher
THE LEGEND OF MICKEY TUSSLERBASIS FOR THE HIT MOVIE A MILE IN HIS SHOES
In the late 1940s, the minor league Milwaukee Brewers are foundering yet again and manager Arthur Murphy is desperate. When he sees seventeen-year old Mickey Tussler throwing apples into a barrel, he knows he has found the next pitching phenom. But not everyone is so hopeful. Mickey’s autism—a disorder still not truly understood even today—has alienated the boy from the world, and he is berated by other players and fans. Mickey faces immense trials in the harsh and competitive world of baseball while coping with the challenges inherent to his disorder. An honest and knowledgeable book about overcoming adversity. Mickey’s powerful story shows that with support and determination anyone can be triumphant, even when the odds are stacked against him. |
