How to I tell teachers about a great book that they might want to use?
I helped Jasmina Cesic, “the Bosnian Ann Frank,” to writer her memoir of teen-aged suffering and survival. Her story is also a refugee story — she lives now in Boston. Teachers who have discovered the book have used it in classrooms with students from age 13 through college with great results, but the book is out from a small press, available mostly from Amazon, and thus not likely to be seen by most teachers. How can I spread the word to teachers who might want to introduce this inspiring true story to their students? (I don’t have a lot of money to work with.)

You have to treat it as a business venture. In schools, even with text books, there are usually representatives from companies that bring physical copies of books for teachers to look at and decide if they like. I would take copies of the book to as many department heads of schools as possible. Also, you could approach librarians at different schools (or public libraries) about buying and shelving the book.
