Literary Titan Book Award What does a teacher do with a teenage student who can’t seem to read, write, speak, or want to mix in with others? What does a parent do when their child is continually bullied throughout elementary school without teachers or administrators seeming to care? Where is a safe place for students with challenges that no one seems to understand? This is a true story. When Liam came to my classroom, I knew something was off. What was I supposed to do with this student who was extremely withdrawn? I didn’t know, but I knew I had to find out ̶ a challenge that I could not ignore. This book isn’t only about bullying, though there was plenty of that. It’s about a boy who needed help to allow his potential to surface. If you are a teacher, a parent, or anyone who has witnessed, or have themselves experienced this, you need this book. LIAM will give you hope. R. Janet Walraven's book, Connect for Classroom Success, is an insightful guide to the challenges and rewards of teaching. This companion book, LIAM, reaches another level. Compelling and powerful, this against-all-odds success story of a severely marginalized student demonstrates the importance of an individualized approach in education, as well as the tremendous life-changing impact that a dedicated, compassionate teacher can make. An inspiration to all of us! --International Bestselling Author Ann Boelter Liam is a truly touching story of some remarkable students and the incredible teacher who helped them realize their potential. The story brought tears to my eyes but also gave me reason to cheer for these likable students. --Shirley M. Clifford, Beta Reader
