\n\t\t\t\tReading Child Care Warrior was a joy from beginning to end. Norman\u2019s story\nof creating an exceptional early childhood system in San Francisco is both\ninspiring and heartwarming. His experience as an Asian-American leader adds a\nlayer of insight and depth that is both important and uplifting to hear.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tChild Care Warrior indeed. Norman Yee\u2019s recounting of his many years\nfighting the good fight for America\u2019s children and families is a lesson in\ncollaboration, wisdom, hope and perseverance. A timely read for anyone\ninterested in how San Francisco has led the way toward a system of quality,\naffordable child care with a well compensated workforce\u2014and Norman\u2019s very unique role in that story. I highly recommend it!\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
