“My three children demanded that I purchase Henry’s History as soon as it became available. One third-grader in my troop who reads only reluctantly told her mother that it was the only thing she ever wanted to read after hearing about it. My older son, a sixth grader who reads material written for much older audiences... was actively engaged in the lecture, taking notes and attempting to answer the questions Reji posed to the audience.”

-Amy Warren, Ed.D.,  on her troop and children’s reactions to Reji’s presentation of her own educational seminar, “The Backwards Book”.
