Description
  1. xii, 163 pages; 24 cm
Summary
  1. Documents a child's journey from isolation to connection and safety in a preschool classroom.
  2. This book focuses on the challenge posed by the isolated child to teachers and classmates alike in the unique community of the classroom. It is the dramatic story of Jason -- the loner and outsider -- and of his ultimate triumph and homecoming into the society of his classmates. As we follow Jason's struggle, we see that the classroom is indeed the crucible within which the young discover themselves and learn to confront new problems in their daily experience.
