Reviews

“The circulation of letters between the teacher and her class throughout the year forms the narrative of this novel about growth, identity and learning. A story of learning to belong and valuing honest communication.”
—Kirkus Review

“Lopez stumbled onto this connection accidentally by writing her class a heartfelt letter. And they felt her heart and answered by writing her a letter back . . . And so a human hand reaches out to touch another human hand, and learning begins as trust. Class Letters makes all the points that need to be made. It’s simple. It’s real. It’s human. Opening a child’s mind begins with opening a child’s heart.”
—Lily Eskelsen , NEA Vice President

Class Letters is about the importance of establishing relationships with students and teaching them the importance of being a person of character.”
—Rudolpholph Lope z, Jr., EdD
