From the Author

Kathi Hughes:
When I was growing up and did anything well, my mother would always say matter-of-factly, "That's because you're a Montessori kid. I attended Montessori schools from the age of 2 and 1/2 to 6, building my own foundation that has stuck with me throughout my life. I went on to train as a Montessori teacher at the Montessori Centre International in London and currently work from home as a distance learning tutor and proof-reader, but my main job is as a Montessori parent of 3 young children.
