J.K. Rowling says, 'Something magical happens when you read a good book.' From page one, Tisha Richmond brings the reader into her classroom to show us many recipes for how to transform our classrooms into places of whimsy and fun. While I loved reading about her culinary arts students and the various challenges in which Tisha engages her students, I also appreciated her sharing her own personal learning journey. I found myself taking copious notes and forming brainstorming ideas to create my own classroom magic, as Tisha shares so many creative and practical examples and ideas which can easily be applied to any context. This book is a must-read for educators in any role, teaching any subject!"
​--Jennifer Casa-Todd, teacher/librarian and author of Social LEADia
