Description
In every classroom, there is a person who cares about the way children learn, grow, and feel-the teacher! The affirming verses and fanciful illustrations in A Teacher's Promise express what all teachers wish for the children they teach-that they develop self-confidence, perseverance, curiosity, and an enjoyment of learning. This book can help ease fears children might have about joining a new classroom or child care setting.

Description
Fifteen Australian women writers were asked to respond to the colour purple. In their hands, purple takes on many meanings. There are stories about Tyrian purple, a snippet of King George's coronation gown, pigeon fanciers, the Dockers' Purple Haze and their layers are explored through themes of feminism, multiculturalism, artists and aging, mothers and daughters and aunts. This is a book for women readers everywhere.
