This book will serve as a powerful catalyst for discussions among youth and adults. -- Robert Brooks, Faculty, Harvard Medical School and co-author, Raising Resilient Children\u003cbr\u003eTo learn, a child must have a bond with a teacher and believe in the possibility of a dream, however simple or grand.
