PRAISE FOR TERI’S MOST RECENT CHILDREN’S BOOK, THE GIRL FROM THE TAR PAPER SCHOOL

Starred review: "Beautifully and clearly written, this story of a teen who refused to be deterred in her pursuit of educational equality is matched by period photos–many of them located only after significant effort." School Library Journal.

Richmond Times-Dispatch

Highly Recommended by the Library Media Connection.

"An extraordinary and inspiring story." Salt Lake City Tribune.
