Tour Dates: Paul Tough

Bestselling author Paul Tough (WHATEVER IT TAKES: Geoffrey Canada’s Quest to Change Harlem and America) wants to know why some children succeed, while others fail? 

In HOW CHILDREN SUCCEED he answers that question and reverses three decades of thinking about what creates successful children. Tough is taking what he learned on the road, sharing his findings and urging our communities to do whatever we can for the next generation.
