“In every classroom moment lies a story worth remembering.”
In Every School Day Is a New Day: Short Stories of a Teacher’s Experiences, author Leatrice D. Williams opens the doors of her classroom and invites readers to witness the joys, challenges, and revelations that come with shaping young minds. Through a captivating collection of short stories drawn from her real experiences as an educator, Williams paints an honest and heartfelt portrait of life inside the classroom — one filled with laughter, lessons, and lasting connections.
From the spark of inspiration that first drew her to teaching to the unforgettable students who left indelible marks on her heart, each story reveals the profound humanity that defines the role of a teacher. Readers will meet Patrick, the mischievous yet endearing student who taught Williams the power of empathy, and experience moments of triumph, heartbreak, and humor that echo the universal truths of education.
Whether she’s building a classroom teepee to encourage reading, guiding her students through personal growth, or handling the unpredictable adventures of field trips, Williams’s voice shines with warmth and wisdom. Her stories remind us that teaching is not only about academics — it’s about understanding, compassion, and the courage to keep showing up with hope each morning.
“Every lesson taught, every laugh shared, and every challenge faced becomes a story that proves—teaching is where hearts and minds truly grow.” -MainSpring Books
Much like Up the Down Staircase and Educating Esmé, Williams’s storytelling celebrates the resilience of teachers and the small victories that make the journey worthwhile.
Because every school day holds a chance to learn something new — about students, about life, and about ourselves.
