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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeborah 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.
