Integrating the experiences of one American teacher on a year-long internship in the preschools of Reggio, with a four-year adaptation effort in one American school, this text includes many ""mini-stories"" of journeys of learning.

This is the first book to integrate the experience of a year-long internship in the preschools of Reggio, Italy, with a four-year adaptation effort in one American school. It is the compelling story of an American intern living and working alongside Italian educators and her attempts to bring the practices and values she learned home to a school in St. Louis, Missouri.
