Book Reviews of Amazing Grace: Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation, The
Book Review: Brought back memories of teaching in Mott Haven
Summary: 5 Stars
I taught for two years in Mott Haven at P.S. 65 and am familiar with many of the children, adults and teachers Kozol met while researching his book. Through this book I learned that the younger brother of one of my students died because of a broken elevator door. A great little kid, smart and cute. Just like the hundreds of other kids I knew whose moments of happiness were so beautiful because the chances of their happiness lasting were so slight. Kozol introduces you to these kids; you may not sleep well because of this book, but its worth the introduction.
