Deborah Roberts knows the important role that teachers can play in a child's development from her own life experience. She edited a star-studded book of essays to demonstrate that she wasn't alone: A single teacher can changeIn her new book of essays,"Lessons Learned and Cherished: The Teacher Who Changed My Life," out May 2, Roberts shares a collection of essays from celebrities and public figures who learned important life lessons from their teachers.
Some of the stars featured in the novel include Oprah Winfrey, Misty Copeland, Ava DuVernay, Lucy Liu, Brooke Shields, Michelle Williams, Octavia Spencer and more."I couldn't leave him out. He would have been insulted, so I thought OK, I better put him in too as I'm talking to everybody else," Roberts laughs.
