LESSONS FROM LITTLE KINGS AND QUEENS
by kimberly mcCormick
 “My heart is singing for joy this morning! A miracle has happened! The light of understanding has shone upon my little pupil’s mind, and behold, all things are changed!” – Anne Sullivan
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” – Matthew 19:14 (NIV)
Teachers—especially those who teach the very young—are privileged to witness precious moments when the “light of understanding” shines forth from a student in the classroom.
Author, Reading Specialist, and Kindergarten Music teacher Kimberly McCormick has collected a treasure trove of moments with the help of her co-workers and story contributors, Allison Ciavarino, Courtney Lipo, and Shirley Snyder. These are moments that are not merely delightfully innocent but are, in their simplicity and childishness, beacons that point the way to a greater, more profound truth.
Lessons from Little Kings and Queens juxtaposes sweet insights and at times, hilarious misconceptions with often stunningly important teachings that are revealed to us through the hearts and minds of these little ones.
Enjoy and Learn!
