Murphy, Elspeth Campbell
Baker, 1979
63 pages

In these prayer poems, “Elspeth Murphy shares her insights on the kinds of pupils that all teachers will recognize: the class clown, the quiet child, the gifted child, the unmotivated child, the handicapped child. Murphy has struggled to come to grips with impatience, helplessness and self-doubt. . . . Anyone who works with children will empathize with the cries for help, the pleas for patience, and the bursts of praise woven throughout this book” (publisher). Delightful, true-to-life meditations every elementary teacher or childcare worker should have.
