Review:
"By foregrounding earth and spirit, Sewall manages to reveal two of the ghosts of curriculum. These elements haunt our curricular practices yet are invisible on the linear pages of curriculum design and instructional manuals. Sewall's words make audible the ancestral voices in our lives and challenge educators to bring them into our classrooms." -Curriculum Inquiry
