Because I Had a Teacher — New York Times best seller

This book captures the impact a teacher can have on a student's life in such a thoughtful and warm way. The story is simple but powerful, and the illustrations add a lovely charm to the message.What I appreciated most is that it feels relevant not just for teachers, but also for mentors, coaches, and anyone who's helped shape someone's path. It focuses on the emotional side of learning, like confidence, imagination, and support, rather than just academics.It makes a meaningful and personal gift for someone who's made a difference in your life.

We gave Because I Had a Teacher as an end-of-year gift to our daughter’s kindergarten teacher, who retired this year, and she absolutely loved it. It's a beautifully written, thoughtful book that perfectly captures the impact teachers have. A meaningful and touching gift—perfect for any teacher at any stage in their career.

Great teacher retirement present!

This was the most perfect book for my daughter’s kindergarten teacher! Love that you can write their name inside and a little message to the teacher!

This book tugs at your heart strings. It really shares the impact that teachers have on students. I’ve bought this book twice to gift to teachers for teacher appreciation week & they always comment how the book makes them cry.

I have been consistently ordering this book each year for the past few years for end of the year teacher gifts, and will continue this tradition for years to come. It is the sweetest book! Teachers are a gift, and we are so grateful for teachers and the important work that they do. This book perfectly delivers this message.
