This story is about a child that wanted to chat about stars and dance to their own drumbeat, and in the end wasn't able to fit into the box of school. Instead of conforming to the norms that were put in front of them they stayed true to themselves.

Students are working so hard towards becoming part of the average. What if we stopped trying to make them average? What if we helped them to shine in the areas that were their strengths? How would their educational experience change to support their own personal growth? This is the birthplace of the book. A child that wanted to talk about the stars and dance to their own tune. Instead of changing to fit into the box of school they stayed true to themself.

Lindsey was born a storyteller collecting ideas as she romped around her neighborhood with friends. Early on she felt a deep connection to the world around her. She knew she was part of something much bigger and loved recording those noticings as they popped up in her adventures. Her teaching career began 16 years ago at a special education preschool in the Bronx. After her adventures in the city she moved to Vermont and taught EAL. She has been a Learning Support teacher in Maui, Tanzania, Jordan, and Vietnam which is where she currently gets the inspiration for her stories.
