"""This warm, engaging tale depicts what school should be for every child."" -Kirkus Reviews ""It's a place which welcomes you inside, keeps you safe, and misses you when you are gone. And, then, it accepts you back again with open arms. School is more than a building. Mine is, and, always will be."" - Ms Sheila Alexander, retired teacher-librarian, Union Valley Elementary "
