Heather Toomey Zimmerman Professor of Education

Book Title: Three Tales of My Father's Dragon

Author: Ruth Stiles Gannett

Selection Statement:

I investigate how families learn in their homes and in parks, science museums, and libraries. My work entails understanding how families’ cultural backgrounds, shared experiences, and norms influence their educational experiences. My parents read this book aloud to me, and I read it aloud to my children. I hope others can read it aloud to their children so their families can learn together too.
