In her new book, bestselling author Cynthia Ballenger explores the intellectual strengths of puzzling children poor, urban, immigrant, or bilingual children who do not traditionally excel in school.

Ballenger guides the reader as she thinks out loud about what children said, what it indicated about their thinking, and how the dialogue informed her teaching.
