Because I Had a Teacher — New York Times best seller

I purchased the book for my son's preschool teacher. The book is adorable and so sweet. I love how it includes a page where you can write your child's name.

This book captures the impact a teacher can have on a student's life in such a thoughtful and warm way. The story is simple but powerful, and the illustrations add a lovely charm to the message. What I appreciated most is that it feels relevant not just for teachers, but also for mentors, coaches, and anyone who's helped shape someone's path. It focuses on the emotional side of learning, like confidence, imagination, and support, rather than just academics. It makes a meaningful and personal gift for someone who's made a difference in your life.

Cute book for any teacher!

Purchased this for the senior class at my high school to sign and award to the teacher at their graduation, who was their kindergarten teacher when they began school. It is a wonderful book and would be an awesome gift for any educator. Well written, heartfelt and I think anyone would be moved to receive it.

I absolutely loved this book! Gave it to all my children's teachers.

Adorable book for teachers!

"Because I Had a Teacher" is not just a book; it's a heartfelt tribute to the incredible impact teachers have on our lives. I recently gifted this New York Times bestseller to my child's previous teacher as a token of appreciation during Teacher Appreciation Week. The book's message resonated deeply with her. I personalized the gift by adding a picture of my child and their teacher inside, along with a heartfelt note expressing our gratitude. Seeing her reaction was priceless—she absolutely loved it. The illustrations are charming, and the story celebrates the unique bond between teachers and their students. It's a perfect gift for any educator who goes above and beyond to inspire and educate. I'm so pleased with the quality and sentiment of this book that I will definitely buy it again for future teacher gifts. Highly recommended!

We gave Because I Had a Teacher as an end-of-year gift to our daughter’s kindergarten teacher, who retired this year, and she absolutely loved it. It's a beautifully written, thoughtful book that perfectly captures the impact teachers have. A meaningful and touching gift—perfect for any teacher at any stage in their career.
