Craft Books: Black Ants and Buddhists by Mary Cowhey


I read this book while studying the art of teaching social studies.  Very thoughtful and thought provoking.  Also a quick read!  This book offers a new way of thinking about what young children are ready for in the classroom, and pushing them to deep critical thinkers as well as compassionate people.  I was able to meet Mary Cowhey and hear her speak at Teacher's College. She is a very well spoken and intelligent educator.  This book is unlike any of "trade book" I've read. Give it a try!
