“I've read the ‘The Wishful Penny’ in my 5th grade class for the last couple of years.  It's a wonderful book and the students thoroughly enjoy it!  I was introduced to your book in a grad class at Mount St. Mary’s College.  We spent weeks talking about your book and how it fits nicely across disciplines. ...We used every piece of the teacher's kit.  We loved it!"
