More than 20 years ago, Miss Dorothy M. Nelson had a big dream-to teach children and give them a place to learn and grow. It all started with one child, Ashley, sitting at a kitchen table. But soon, more children came, and Miss Dorothy's small kitchen couldn't hold them all With determination and love for education, she moved from a tiny kitchen to a small storefront, and then to a large school with two buildings-one for preschool and kindergarten and another for grades 1-8.
Beyond the Kitchen is an inspiring true story about how one woman's dream turned into a school that continues to change lives today. Perfect for young readers ages 5-10, this beautifully illustrated book teaches the power of perseverance, education, and believing in your dreams.
