Editorial Reviews

"Whether you're just out of college or have been on the job for 20 years, you'll love this clever and quite wise little book on the art of being a "grown-up" (different from an adult, you know). Tips range from how to do the perfect high-five (a necessity in an elementary classroom) to how to trust your gut— oh, and how to open a bottle of champagne."
