I’ve selected three books from which to make our first selection for the James Simons Parents book club:
- “Turning Education Inside-Out: Confessions of a Montessori Principal” by Judy Dempsey (2016)
- “The Awakened Family: How to Raise Empowered, Resilient, and Conscious Children” by Shefali Tsabary (2017)
- “Masterminds and Wingmen: Helping Our Boys Cope with Schoolyard Power, Locker-Room Tests, Girlfriends, and the New Rules of Boy World” by Rosalind Wiseman (2014)
Leave your preference in the comments below and later we can decide where/when to meet once I know who is going to participate.
