Momentum
Montessori, a Life in Motion

Taking its bones from a real diary written by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1913 chronicling her first voyage to America, Momentum is a fictionalized retelling of that same voyage.

Montessori in Action:
Building Resilient Montessori Schools

The first of its kind, this book offers readers a collection of modern and concrete ways to build an equitable and resilient Montessori program.

Rest Stops

Told through the unvarnished voices of its characters, Rest Stops is a book about finding and claiming home, redefining family, and every person’s quest for identity.

  • "I honestly have read nothing like Momentum in the literature around Maria Montessori."

    — Mariana Bissonnette, author of Babies Build Toddlers

  • “Simply brilliant--no, complexly brilliant. I have never read a more absorbing, unflinching, intense embodiment of biographical fiction.”

    — Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Ahab’s Wife

  • "Rest Stops is a truly wonderful story that is sprinkled with surprises throughout. I didn't want to put it down. "
