My Teacher
K-Gr 2-A young girl tells of her special teacher who could have taught at a school "across town, where the sun always shines," or retired years ago. Instead, she fills the days sharing joy and inspiring young minds with lessons of reading, research, writing, compassion, families, drawing, jazz, swing dancing, and much more. Clear, painterly illustrations depict a diverse group of students and add to the warm, friendly tone of the narrative. This book is a celebration of teachers, a nod to the special things they do for their students every day. It may serve schools particularly well during Career Day or Teacher Appreciation Week.-Lindsay Persohn, University of South Florida, Tampaα(c) Copyright 2011.
