Teachers, despite what little tykes might think, don't evaporate at the end of May only to reappear in the middle of August when it's time for school to start again.
Teachers have lives.
Those lives, too, are measured in terms of the school year. The book, recommended for ages 3-7 plus all teachers, is one of hundreds of new picture books being released in May and June. And it's one of the best, thanks in great measure to one of Houston's most precious natural resources, artist Tricia Tusa. At the end of every school year the principal brings Mrs. Spitzer seeds. She completes her year by growing a garden.
