Description

Just Any other Kid is not just Any other book. This remarkable teacher’s memoir reminds us that love takes many forms.” –The New York Times

From the bestselling creator of One Child comes the actual story of six children not possible to succeed in and the amazing teacher who embraced them all.

Torey Hayden faced six emotionally troubled kids no other teacher could deal with—three latest arrivals from battle-torn Northern Ireland, badly traumatized by the horrors of war; eleven-year-old Dirkie, who only knew of life inside an institution; excitable Mariana, aggressive and sexually precocious on the age of eight; and seven-year-old Leslie, most likely the most hopeless of all, unresponsive and unable to speak.

With compassion, rare insight, and masterful storytelling, teacher Torey Hayden once again touches our hearts with her account of the miracles that may happen in her class of “special” children.
