A Flower for Teacher

This story is based on a few of the author's experiences as a classroom teacher. It highlights actual events in which the author interacted with a "special needs" student, and how she bonded with the student over a period of time. It is a story that everyone can appreciate: teachers who face daily challenges in the classroom (particularly those who work with "special needs" children), parents of "special needs" children, and adults and children of all ages who interact with or encounter "special needs" children in their daily lives. If you are simply looking for a story to make you or someone else smile, the author guarantees that this story will.

The elements of rhyme and rhythm make this story engaging particularly to younger ones. The unique drawings, done by the author, give this book special appeal; they don't conform to today's norm of digital art. Parents will appreciate that this story evokes sentiments of kindness and acceptance in their children. Teachers can easily use this story to teach "character values" as well as the concept of "rhyming words." The book includes a simple 13-word glossary page that teachers and parents can use to introduce new vocabulary to young children.
