Episode 43 Summer Reads Series: The Samurai's Garden We Teach So Hard!

Ahhhhhhhh... It's summer, finally. Welcome to the first installment of We Teach So Hard's Summer Reads Series where we suggest pleasure-read books and hold  book club discussions. This episode, our title is The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama. This is the perfect first read for the summer, because the author tells an enthralling story about love, isolation, and honor. Matsu, Stephan and Sachi's story will leave you feeling like you've just completed a fabulous meditation. Seriously, her writing is that good. 

If you haven't read the book yet, then save this podcast episode for after. This is your only SPOILER ALERT!

This week, Tracy is offering a gorgeous featured summer freebie to accompany this book... JUST FOR YOU (not your kiddos), because you teach so hard! You can snag it here:  https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Wild-Child-Designs
