Just in time for the end of a school year comes a sweet tale of teacher who is leaving her school and how it effects her students.
Oh no! Mrs. McBee has just told her class that she won't be returning to school after summer vacation and a "great sigh echoes down the halls." The children worry that Mrs. McBee will never get to hear them read or even see them again. But there is no time to fret about her leaving. They have room that needs to be cleaned before summer break. The lively mix of children get to work with strong-willed Jamaika taking charge while pointing out that one boy, William is not helping.
William has something else up his sleeve and puts together a stack of pictures of the pictures for everyone to remember their great year together. Mrs. McBee has one more surprise to share.
The richly colored illustrations aptly capture the mix of children and personalities with plenty of activity which any child would love to participate. The story captures both the excitement of the end of a school year as well as the twinge of sadness that happens when one has to leave a beloved teacher behind. A great way to help a child learn to say goodbye in those early school years.
