We are thrilled that this SOS Webinar will be a "virtual" first stop on the book tour for Jonathon's brand new work, Fire in the Ashes: Twenty-five Years Among the Poorest Children in AmericaRead what education leaders are saying about Fire In the Ashes:

"Despite the steep odds stacked against these children-which too many cannot overcome-this is a hopeful book thanks to those who do. The i ncredible resilience, grit and grace of children like Pineapple are a call to urgent action."  -- Marian Wright Edelman, President, Children's Defense Fund

"Kozol has a knack for describing his relationships with poverty-stricken children with a sympathy that is so straightforward one cannot indulge in pity. FIRE IN THE ASHES is a wonderful book. I couldn't put it down." --- Deborah Meier (Author, In Schools We Trust and the Power of Their Ideas)
