Review by Apex Reviews of my book "It''s a Teacher''s Life...!"
The world of teaching is certainly a unique one, and no one outside the realm of education can have a full appreciation of the myriad different facets of teachers’ everyday lives. In the pages of It’s A Teacher’s Life...!, though, those of us who have always wondered exactly what teachers do all day long - as well as after school hours - finally have the chance to learn all about preparing lesson plans, grading test papers, attending field trips, and so much more.
A brief, yet enjoyable collection of poetry, It’s A Teacher’s Life is written in clear, descriptive language, adding to its appeal to those who may not readily embrace the genre. Also, author Helena Harper’s impressive use of rhyme and rhythm further emboldens an already strong presentation of engaging verse. Perhaps the most salient aspect of Harper’s collection, though, is the passion with which she tackles topics of all kinds, not only exposing for the reader the multifaceted nature of a teacher’s life, but also expressing the pure joy that she derives from living it - sure to inspire readers to have a greater appreciation for their own chosen professions, regardless of what they may be.
Though it may be rife with challenges, difficulties, and unforeseen setbacks, life as a teacher is just as full of rewards and moments of sheer pleasure, and thanks to It’s A Teacher’s Life, students and non-students alike now have a full panoramic view of that life in delightful detail. A pleasant, eye-opening read.
