Teach with Your Heart: Lessons I Learned from the Freedom Writers

Teach With Your Heart is a powerful memoir and call to action from Erin Gruwell, the dynamic teacher who inspired the hit movie Freedom Writers.

This book picks up where her previous memoir left off, bringing readers up to date on the extraordinary journey of the Freedom Writers as they traveled through college and beyond.

With unforgettable stories of their trip to Auschwitz, meeting with Holocaust survivors, and visiting Bosnia with their friend Zlata Filipović, Teach With Your Heart chronicles the emotional peaks and valleys on the front lines of our nation’s educational system.

Gruwell shares lessons for parents and teachers about what she learned from her remarkable band of students, and how to encourage others to follow in her footsteps.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of young people through education.
