Lila Greer, Teacher of the Year by Andrea Beaty

5.0

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher for my honest opinion.

Lila Greer is full of fear. Just as she is starting to become less afraid, her big family moves to a new place, filled with new unknowns and old fears. Everything changes though when she meets a very special teacher. As usual, I loved Beaty’s new Questioneers book and character, Lila. The illustrations are whimsical as always. The sing song text is fun and easy to follow and read. The big takeaway though is that this book is an ode to teachers. Full of love and kindness, not only does Lila find comfort in her new teacher, she is inspired to become one herself. A really lovely book for any family but especially those struggling with anxiety or new schools. And of course, this would a be wonderful book for Teacher Appreciation Week or just a way to say thank you to a teacher you love.
