The Expert Expedition

In 2021, Grayson McKinney and Zach Rondot released a book for educators called The Expert Effect, dedicated to providing students with deep and meaningful learning experiences. Since then, teachers around the world have found inspiration and ideas to help engage learners in an unforgettable way.
This picture book continues that mission by providing a classroom companion to help bring the "Expert Effect" system directly to the people who make it all worthwhile: the children. This imaginative story of learning adventure combines beautifully articulated verse with bright, vibrant, and whimsical illustrations. The Expert Expedition is bound to capture the hearts of educators everywhere and the imaginations of learners of all ages.

Grayson McKinney, Co-Author
Grayson is first and foremost a teacher, but he could really get used to calling himself a writer. He mostly co-authored his first book for grownups, The Expert Effect, in a chair next to a fireplace at his local Starbucks, but wrote this, his first book for kids, from his house in Michigan, where he lives with his family. You can find his wife, three children, and their dog pictured in this book!
Zach Rondot, Co-Author
Zach is a 4th-grade teacher in Michigan. He has taught elementary school since 2013. When he started his journey as a teacher, he never would have imagined he would be a published author. Writing and sharing messages with teachers and students has become a true passion and he hopes you're ready to take your learning to the next level as you set off on your Expert Expedition.
