Love has not been realized by the poets and by the prophets, but by the realities which every child discloses in himself.” - Dr. Maria Montessori In this masterful continuation of her first two books, McTamaney offers mindful guidance for the many demands on parents and teachers in Montessori settings. An inspiring voice in teacher education, McTamaney revisits chapters from some of Dr. Montessori’s most frequently read books, evoking new relevance for children of a new age. McTamaney’s poetic style and profound understanding create a compassionate perspective on the difficulties of Montessori practice. Read the reflections as you revisit Dr. Montessori’s original books or explore them on their own. Whether you seek a deeper understanding of Montessori philosophy or a space for your own contemplation, McTamaney offers that companionship.
