It was on my mom's deathbed that I questioned what to do with the rest of my life. Was I doing what I wanted instead of just what the pocketbook demanded? For years, I felt a quiet yearning for something more than writing newspaper stories. So I decided to teach, and yet making a mid-career change at 39 with a family to care for made no sense. What was I thinking? But I had this idea that I could make the world a better place. Yes, stories abound of kids hating school, disrespecting teachers, and acting like fools in the classroom. But I can tell just as many stories of students showing kindness, embracing learning, and writing the sweetest notes for their teachers. For 22 years, I taught elementary school, and as a male teacher, I was an unusual species. Now I can tell you what it's really like on the inside of the modern classroom, where teachers struggle to find money for supplies, learn new modes of instruction, worry about kids who suffer in abusive homes, and wonder how they'll compete in a future filled with existential quandaries ranging from climate change and racial equity to the likelihood that they'll have fewer opportunities than the generations before them. It was my job to equip them for that uncertain future, or at least send them off successfully to the next grade level. Through it all, my time in the classroom was a love/hate affair, but mostly love, and definitely fun, except when it wasn't. It was awful to retire in the middle of a pandemic, but I did it; now I'd like to share what it was really like, and based on the experiences learned from all the kids that passed through my classroom, offer up some advice as a new generation navigates the hallways of elementary education in America.

When two friends—a sock monkey and a plush toy dog—get into an argument during playtime, Monkey gets his feelings hurt and proclaims, “You are not my friend!” But when he takes his ball to find someone new to play with, he quickly learns that maybe he hasn’t been a very good friend, either.Bestselling author/illustrator Daniel Kirk uses bold and humorous illustrations to convey the important message that sharing and other acts of friendship are two-way streets. Praise for You Are Not My Friend, But I Miss You "Kirk’s skillfully paced mix of vignettes, close-ups and long shots guide readers smoothly through this emotional odyssey." --Kirkus Reviews "His frequent use of bold, large-scale drawing captures Monkey’s equally outsize temperament, while the emphatic, minimal text is subtly poignant and supremely performable." --Publishers Weekly
