“Dear Teacher, whenever I had something to tell you, I tugged on your shirt and whispered in your ear. This time I’m writing a letter.”
This touching children’s picture book is a narration of a letter by a former student to her second-grade teacher who greatly inspired her. Through funny recollections of the evolving relationship between the self-confessed ‘exasperating’ student and her teacher, the book reveals how the author has been positively influenced by the patience, loving acceptance and encouraging words of her wonderful teacher. Don’t miss the moving ending which will bring a heartening smile, or even a tear. Suitable for pre-school to lower primary reading.
