Reviews

"An earnest, unflashy story that has all the earmarks of becoming a staple for schools and students facing similar transitions."—Publishers Weekly

"A great read-aloud any day but certainly on Teacher Appreciation Day or the last day of school."—School Library Journal

"A thoroughly satisfying solution to the issue of saying goodbye."—Kirkus Reviews

"Colorful, cartoonish illustrations depict the diverse kids in a familiar classroom setting with expressive and lighthearted touches. . . . This positive portrayal of a common experience offers a rosy picture of teachers and students, including Mrs. McBee's gentle reassurances and inclusive approach of appreciating each student and his or her strengths."—Booklist
