More Pot Likker, Please!!

What an appropriate name for a book of nourishing stories, those from the heart and parables of the spirit. I read Pot Likker in a few hours, savoring the lessons learned, the insights shared, and the fortitude expressed. Many of the stories exemplify the line from a spiritual, "I Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around!" The contributors all evince a right-mindedness, that sisterly and brotherly love we so desperately need to demonstrate to one another.Hopefully, Larry and Deborah Peaks Coleman, the editors of Pot Likker, will edit more collections, for I am hooked!

Pot Likker: Stories for Teachers and Learners

The editors Larry and Deborah Coleman have done agreat job of compiling stories that relate to real life situations. As I began to read the stories I felt as if I was a part of what was being said. I picked up this book with the intent of reading only a few stories and found the book magnetic! I was drawn to continue reading, I enjoyed not only one story but allof the ones that I read. They made me reflect on situations in my life and allowed me to see myself. This bok is a refreshing collection of stories, that provide something for everyone. I recommend that every that every educator, parent and instructor have this as part of their collection. If this were a pot of soup, I'd be tipping the pot to be sure to get every drop.
