Didn't had time to finish it before it expired but I will buy it soon since I've learn a lot already.
A must to parents and educators.

I wanted to write a review for this work for my blog, Cobleskill Commentaries; however, I have not been able to write about it comprehensively, so I am going to provide a concise review here.

Love to Learn is a good enough book that speaks to the transformative power of care and connection in a child's life, to the point that they do better in all areas of their life, including and most especially in their educational experience. This work, in a way, is in response to those who don't see a child's environment as being that big of an issue as it pertains to the learning ability or capability. What makes Love to Learn work is that Hsu is highly knowledgeable in the subject matter, providing a slew of sources that help readers see her point of view in a profound way. With that said, Hsu is also quite clinical, annoyingly so, which makes her voice a bit dry and without much in the way of flavor. There is not a lot of rhythm to the work and Hsu should give the reader an occasional reprieve from the data and the statistics to ensure her readers are seeing this in a more qualitative rather than quantitative way.

This is a well researched textbook highlighting the importance of safe and loving relationships in early childhood development, both in the home and in a childcare \ classroom setting. Highlighted are the negative effects from our digital and technology based society, causing more isolation and less time for human interaction and playtime.
As a Preschool teacher and a grandparent, I would have appreciated a more practical guide on making improvements, but perhaps that is another book. This text, Love to Learn, was certainly inspiring and motivating.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy to review.
