In Los Angeles during the fall of 2013, the board of Progressive Education Network (PEN) listened intently as Tom Little read a passage from the book he was writing. He shared an experience of joining Wingra School first-graders for recess on a below-freezing day in Madison, Wisconsin. The elegant prose of Little’s words was captivating, and it provided a glimpse into Loving Learning: How Progressive Education Can Save America’s Schools. The book, released less than two years later, and after Little had lost his battle with bone cancer, represents 18 months of Tom Little researching and writing a culminating expression of his life’s work.
