Together we wish to thank the team at educate.ie for their support and hard work in bringing the Kingdom series to life. In particular, a special thanks to Sinéad, Carolyn and Liz who shared our vision.
It brings us great joy to thank our valued students and colleagues. We dedicate this book to the teachers who inspired us and to inspiring teachers everywhere.
To my best friends, my amazing parents. Mary, for always being in my corner and for showing me what it means to be strong and fearless. And my wonderful Dad, for teaching me the true meaning of kindness. You mean more to me than you will ever know.
