About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their toddler is preparing for their very first day of daycare or preschool, or when they want to foster a sense of gratitude for the caregivers in their child's life. It is an ideal choice for Teacher Appreciation Week, end-of-year gifts, or simply to ease the transition of starting school by framing the teacher as a supportive, joyful figure. This sturdy, mug-shaped board book uses playful puns and vibrant illustrations to celebrate the many roles a teacher plays: mentor, cheerleader, and friend. It focuses on themes of kindness, inspiration, and the 'spark' of learning. Because it is written for the 0 to 3 age range, the language is simple and rhythmic, making it a perfect tool for building a positive association with the classroom environment and the adults who lead it.
