In her newest book, teacher researcher and bestselling author Karen Gallas investigates imagination in the classroom to understand its function in literacy learning. Using rich examples from her elementary classroom, she proposes that imagination is a central, but untapped, component of learing accross all subject areas—language arts, science, social studies, and math.

―Curt Dudley-Marling, Lynch School of Education, Boston College

I LOVED this book and have already recommended it to colleagues and friends.”
