Educating Esmé

The book feels so authentic and detailed—I'm curious how the narrative was shaped from her real journal entries. Did she focus on certain moments intentionally?

Esmé Raji Codell’s passion really shines through, but I wonder if her story has motivated others to take up teaching or get involved in education reform.

The honesty made the story so compelling, but it also made me think about how much vulnerability is involved in writing a memoir like this.
