I love all of Dr. Middleton's books. The first book of his that I purchased was "Jameel's Valentines" and now "Our Teacher is a Doctor". This book really breaks down the differences between the type of doctors by profession, which if you have ever been in a classroom is very important for kids to learn and understand. This can be a great way for kids to identify what they want to be when they get older as well. The illustration is beautiful and lush. The story is extremely well written. If you work with kids, have kids, or know someone with kids I encourage you to purchase this book because it is beautiful, amazing, and very informative.
I enjoyed reading the academic journey of a black man and his accomplishments on the way. What a positive role model for young children to become familiar with at an early age. The book reinforces positive views of black males and presents alternate opportunities that are attainable with the help of others and perseverance. I enjoyed the artistic portrayal of a black male teacher and his students in the classroom. Looking forward to the next book… Our Teacher travels outside of the United States.
A great read for my son and I. He didn't realize you can be a doctor and not in medicine. I had a great time explaining it to him. Once again he saw himself in the characters.
The message of the short story is clear no matter how long it takes as long as you finish what you started. I think we can apply his example to most things in life.
I LOVE THIS BOOK.
