Review
-Toni Isaac, School Librarian
"What a wonderful, modern message for learners of any age! The illustrations are rich, diverse, and whimsical in a way that is sure to engage readers and inspire a whole new generation of ideas and creativity. This is a lovely book whose illustrations are full of diversity and whimsy, all designed to inspire and motivate. The message is appropriate for learners of ANY age. Children can see people like themselves throughout these pages, and that makes the message so much more impactful. The rhyming of the text is fun, and the images are bringing those lines to life."
-Sheri Parks, Secondary Teacher
"This inclusive book sheds positive light on the wonderful world of learning! This book allows students to see themselves as well as see their own teachers' passions present throughout. Not only does this book amplify the need to seek out new learning, but also provides multicultural representation with one driving theme: being innovative can help change the world."

About the Author
Grayson is first and foremost a teacher, but he could really get used to calling himself a writer. He mostly co-authored his first book for grownups, The Expert Effect, in a chair next to a fireplace at his local Starbucks, but wrote this, his first book for kids, from his house in Michigan, where he lives with his family. You can find his wife, three children, and their dog pictured in this book!
Zach Rondot, Co-Author
Zach is a 4th-grade teacher in Michigan. He has taught elementary school since 2013. When he started his journey as a teacher, he never would have imagined he would be a published author. Writing and sharing messages with teachers and students has become a true passion and he hopes you're ready to take your learning to the next level as you set off on your Expert Expedition.
