“As a parent who is well-versed in Montessori, I still found Paula’s book to be full of little gems that I wish I had known about years ago, and I urge every parent, soon-to-be parent, caregiver and education advocate out there to pick up the book and get started on your Montessori journey. I promise it will change your life and the way you see children.”
