Autorenporträt

Laurie Grossman is an expert in mindfulness in education, and has been an activist since 1975-she believes mindfulness is the tool most likely to help achieve social justice. In 2007, she launched a pilot program of mindfulness in an Oakland, CA, elementary school that was covered in The New York Times and on NBC. Grossman is cofounder of Mindful Schools, now one of the largest mindfulness-in-education programs in the world. She currently works with Inner Explorer, an organization focused on bringing mindfulness programs into schools to improve educational outcomes and the well-being of children and teachers in K-12 classrooms throughout the world. Mr. Musumeci has been a teacher at Reach Academy in Oakland, CA, since 2009. His class is comprised of twenty-nine wonderful, lively, and smart fifth graders who love mindfulness. Reach Academy is a transitional K-5 school where the vast majority of students are on free and reduced lunch programs, and 99 percent are children of color. Mr. Musumeci's 5th Grade Class class is excited to publish a book of their own about mindfulness for other kids because they have benefitted so much from the practice.
