Publisher's Synopsis
The Quiet Current
Stories of Healing, Hope, and Unexpected GraceWhat if the most powerful thing you can offer a child isn't a strategy-but your presence?
Blending personal narrative with professional insight, special educator Ivy Garmon reflects on the quiet, transformative moments that shape both students and the adults who teach them. With lyrical prose and steady wisdom, she traces the rhythms of classrooms, childhood, and the unexpected grace that emerges when we choose to stay present-especially when it's hard.
The Quiet Current invites readers to consider what it means to show up for students-not just with plans and procedures, but with presence, persistence, and a willingness to see what others overlook. It's a book for those who believe the smallest gestures-a kind word, a glance, a moment of attention-can echo across a lifetime.
Perfect for:
- Teacher book studies and professional development
- School leaders seeking to inspire their teams
- Readers of The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, What Happened to You?, or Teacher: One Woman's Struggle to Keep the Heart in Teaching
Now part of the Unexpected Grace Series, this book is the first in a collection exploring the lasting power of presence and the quiet strength of those who choose to stay.
