The Ultimate Book of Inspiring Quotes for Kids presents a unique and compelling collection of child-friendly wisdom from many historical greats, including Plato and Albert Einstein, as well as modern leaders, such as Nelson Mandela and Oprah Winfrey. Words can change people-and, ultimately, the world. In order to grow into their best selves, children need inspiration. They need positive influences to counterbalance to the negative words, role models, and behaviors that too often surround them. A great addition to any classroom, home library, or child's bedside, this compilation is organized by themes that range from courage to education to friendship. Each section begins with a brief introduction that relates the topic to kids and explains why it's important to make this value a habit. Thanks to an engaging, uplifting, and easy-to-read style, children and adults alike will enjoy poring over these empowering pages again and again-especially with gems like Helen Keller's "When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another."

While teaching language arts to eighth graders in August 2007, he overheard a student blurt, “Floyd is not a first name.” After the quote gave Sherman pause, he and the students decided to begin logging their hilarious sayings on the whiteboard. He recorded the comments, and soon “Quote of the Day” became a staple in his classroom. In an entertaining collection that includes many of the stories behind the quotes, Sherman shares over six hundred outlandish comments of his students organized into thirteen categories: Geography, Food, Animals, School, Sports, Anatomy, Color, Time, Punctuation/Spelling, The Dark Side, Captain Obvious, Mea Culpa (his quotes), and Miscellaneous (what’s left). Quotes include, “I was in New York for like two days yesterday,” “Raisins are basically grandma grapes,” “I did the homework in my head,” “I always thought Santa watched me through the air vent when I got changed,” and much more. What Did They Say? shares more than six hundred hilarious comments from eighth-graders and the stories behind them catalogued by their teacher for thirteen years.
