Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of the classic "Little House on The Prairie" series, hated teaching.
A woman filled with beautiful prose, so prolific that she raised centuries of young girls on her books, abhored the classroom.
Yet, she found reprieve in putting pen to paper and crafting her life story for young children to read.
Any burnt out teacher might understand how the most beloved American author in our history might feel. When education breaks the soul, a poem crafted for the same classroom might heal it.
The exhausted mother, the broken educator, the struggling childcare worker, is who "A Snowman Again" is dedicated to. A children's book, yes, but told through the lips of a woman attempting to heal her relationship with childplay.
"If I were to be born again, I think I'd like to be a Snowman." Speaks to the child within the adult. What if, despite the broken childplay, you had the chance to be a young dreamer's best friend again? This is what our Snowman teaches.
To all my Laura Ingalls Wilder's out there, this book is dedicated to you and your classroom.
