Sharing one of the books from my childhood library.

I had an amazing kindergarten teacher who gave me this book as a kindergarten "graduation" gift. I lost my original copy, but purchased it again a few years ago, because I didn't want to be without it.
It's a simple story and I can't even tell you what it was about this book that spoke to my 5 year old self. I guess I learned along with Marie Louise that our families - despite their flaws - are OURS, which makes them perfect.

I absolutely loved this book as a child and I think it would make a really fun addition to a classroom library. In addition, it would be a good read aloud book for the beginning of the year when expectations and consequences are being discussed.

My favorite children's book:). I've read it many times, even recently. It teaches a great lesson -- that there's no place like home and the love of a parent is so very precious.
