Overview
What do you want to be when you grow up? How about a TEACHER?
In the first released companion title of the “When I Grow Up” series, “A Teacher I’ll Be!” explores a typical day in the life of a teacher through the eyes of a young boy. With his dog Sam by his side, his dream of becoming a teacher is filled with the wonderment and excitement that can only be found in a child’s imagination. From welcoming his students as they arrive at school to saying goodbye at the end of the day, being a teacher is what he dreams of.
“A Teacher I’ll Be!” is a fun, easy-to-read rhythmic story written for early readers, their parents, and educators of young children. Through rhyme and illustration, “A Teacher I’ll Be!” sparks the imagination and aids parents and educators in conveying what teachers do in a way that children can easily understand. In addition, “A Teacher I’ll Be!” can be a useful tool in preparing young children for their first day of school.
Be on the lookout for “A Fireman I’ll Be!”, “An Engineer I’ll Be!” and many others that will inspire and encourage young children to begin dreaming about their future. As we say at Lea Street Press, “If you can read it, you can imagine it. If you can imagine it, you can live it!” Children are the future so let’s encourage them to read, imagine and live their dreams.
