This time I’m writing   a letter. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So begins this heartfelt picture book about a   girl who prefers running and jumping to listening and learning—and the   teacher who gently inspires her. From stomping through creeks on a field trip   to pretending to choke when called upon to read aloud, this book’s young   heroine would be a challenge to any teacher. But this teacher isn’t just any   teacher. By listening carefully and knowing just the right thing to say, she   quickly learns that the girl’s unruly behavior is due to her struggles with   reading. And at the very end, we learn what this former student is now: a   teacher herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From award winning author Deborah Hopkinson and acclaimed illustrator Nancy   Carpenter, this picture book is made to be treasured by both those who teach   and those who learn.\"A valuable lesson in empathy, internalized and paid forward.\"  —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hopkinson’s moving epistolary text and Carpenter’s emotionally incisive flashbacks chronicle the evolving relationship between an impulsive second grader and her life-changing teacher.\" —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly, \u003c\/i\u003estarred reviewDeborah Hopkinson is the author of many highly acclaimed picture books, including \u003ci\u003eBeatrix Potter and the Unfortunate Tale of a Borrowed Guinea Pig;\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSky Boys: How They Built the Empire State Building,\u003c\/i\u003e a \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe–Horn Book\u003c\/i\u003e Honor Book; and \u003ci\u003eAbe Lincoln Crosses a Creek: A Tall, Thin Tale,\u003c\/i\u003e an ALA-ALSC Notable Children’s Book.
