Review Quotes: As an educator for nearly 20 years, I've observed behaviours like many mentioned this extraordinary book but could never really put the finger on them. I intend to spend many more hours digging into Dr. Sorrels book to deepen my analytical skills within the context of early childhood development and human development in general. - Academic's Choice Awards
