Educator and acclaimed poet Taylor Mali honors the magic of teachers and mentors in this joyful, energetic, uplifting gift book.

Easy teachers who gave easy tests are not the teachers I loved the best....

Perfect for teacher appreciation gifts and graduation, here is an inspirational, rhyming picture book ode to the extra-special teachers we remember all those years later.

Children will love seeing themselves and their favorite teachers in scenes bursting with positivity, highlighting not just academics but sports, drama, art, music, and community. And teachers will appreciate seeing their honored profession depicted with love and gratitude.

With gorgeous and whimsical illustrations by Erica Root, here is a book that celebrates the commitment and diversity of the special people who mentor, lead, and inspire our children.
"The theme and the words will speak to parents and children remembering the best parts of their school experiences. . . . An ode to educators that will resonate with anyone who has had a memorable teacher." —Kirkus Reviews

"Mali crafts a love poem whose speaker fondly recalls the actions of encouraging, inspiring, and supportive educators.... [an] affectionate celebration of those reaching the profession’s ideals." —Publishers Weekly
