Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Few authors move as easily between the different worlds children inhabit as Britta Teckentrup. Whether she's leading the littlest readers through the seasons, or exploring the science of bird feathers, Teckentrup's warm and wonderfully detailed illustrations are a marvelous portal to feelings, facts, and fun. In her newest book, Teckentrup takes readers inside a busy school to follow different students through their day--in class, during free time, at lunch, and through swimming lessons. We come across a variety of faces and expressions that reflect the enormous range of emotions and experiences that each school day brings. There are arguments and hurt feelings, encouraging hugs and deeply felt smiles. The gentle text explores issues that we've all encountered--bullying and loneliness as well as friendship and achievement. While the school in this book could exist anywhere, every reader will find a piece of her or himself in its beautifully and sensitively wrought story.
Translated from the German.
A school is a diverse as its students. But it's not that easy to get so many people to get along. It takes an open mind. Things can work out, though--if you have teachers who make learning fun, if you make real friends, if you feel like you matter. But you can't choose your teachers or your classmates, who don't always cooperate. But what does being 'different' really mean, and who gets to decide? Here is a look at how things work at one school. -- Adapted from page [4] cover.
