In this sweet, rollicking poem about the ups and downs of a school year, Indian-American author and illustrator Supriya Kelkar crafts a delightful ode to the educators everywhere who shape our lives. Featuring a wide variety of teachers - from homeroom to gym to music class - this is the perfect gift book for any school-aged child to give their educators. Celebrate Back to School, the First 100 Days, National Teacher Day & Appreciation Week (the first week of May), and Graduation by writing an educator a thank-you note using the author's how-to guide in the backmatter. From weekday victories to school-trip catastrophes and even hard-to-place apostrophes, there is no problem too hard to solve when a teacher is in the classroom!
