Review: February 2010 Book News Inc. - February 1, 2010
Sullivan (educator and president/co-founder, Praxis Institute for Early Childhood) offers recommendations on leadership for anyone who works with young children, from child care providers to preschool and school-age teachers. The author combines theory and practice in this second edition and covers a number of relevant issues, including human development, diversity, anti-bias, working with families, and social change. New chapters include making leadership connections in school-age care and encouraging leadership in children. (Annotation 2010 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)

Debra Sullivan has taken very complex ideas and made them seem obvious and accessible. This is a valuable text to assist teachers in identifying their leadership skills and bring them to the decision-making tables of our profession. I recommend this book to the many Leadership Empowerment Action Project (LEAP) groups around the country and keep it close at hand in my own work.

Learning to Lead provides an uncommon view of a common topic. In a unique way, Debra Sullivan blends her reverence for the contribution each person brings with a vast body of scientific knowledge to help each of us understand what leadership is and how to become an effective leader-no matter where we might be.
