It Won't Be Easy:
An Exceedingly Honest, (and Slightly Unprofessional) Love Letter to Teaching.
Rademacher does not hold back... his honest, inspiring, and often humorous book will appeal to teachers, future teachers, and those interested in education.
— Booklist
A tribute to an impossible and impossibly rewarding profession, It Won’t Be Easy captures the experience of teaching in all its messy glory. Short on jargon and long on practical wisdom, it is accessible to anyone interested in a behind-the-curtain look at teaching and willing to understand that, while no simple answers exist, there is power in asking the right questions.

Raising Ollie:
How My Nonbinary Art-Nerd Kid Changed (Nearly) Everything I Know
As vulnerable and honest a piece I’ve ever read from an educator, Tom Rademacher’s beautiful and conversational story ought to encourage more of us to dig deeper and reflect harder.
— José Luis Vilson, author of This Is Not A Test: A New Narrative on Race, Class, and Education
Raising Ollie is Tom Rademacher’s story of one eventful and sometimes painful school year, parenting his nonbinary, art-obsessed, brilliant child and relearning every day what it means to be a father and teacher. Rademacher reveals how raising a kid changes everything—and how much raising a kid like Ollie can teach us about who we are and what we’re doing in the world.
