About the Reviewer:
Michelle Muldowney is a 21-year old senior currently attending
the University of Arizona. She is a native Arizonian who is
an avid reader and dabbles in creative writing on the side.
She has had the wonderful opportunity to work as a tutor in
the Tucson Unified School District for the past four years,
and will testify that the whole experience has changed her
life forever. Michelle would like her future classroom to
be a creative, and warm place where the students can explore
their imaginations and experience an optimal learning journey.
For now, she is content living the life of a college student
and is enjoying the splendid opportunity to participate in
the Children's Literature in the Classroom course that is
offered at the University. She believes that every child has
a passion for learning that can be cultivated by encouragement
and patience. (Fall 2003)
