Ewa Sosnowska-Bielicz's monograph is a pioneering work that fills a gap in the literature, where the topic of pedagogical optimism is only treated in fragments. The author has taken on the difficult task of defining and discussing this key aspect of teacher work and creating a solid foundation for further research and analysis.

This book is an invaluable source of knowledge for all those involved in education, especially for early childhood teachers, pedagogy students and researchers dealing with the issue of teachers' professional competencies. This publication helps to understand how important optimism is for creating a positive atmosphere in the classroom and building relationships with students.

Pedagogical optimism, as the author emphasizes, is not only a personal trait, but also an element of professional professionalism.

This monograph is an inspiration to reflect on one's own approach to work and to look for ways to strengthen pedagogical optimism.
