Author, former teacher and mom Kate Messner has battled the back-to-school blues from all sides – and won!
Her picture books Sea Monster and the Bossy Fish and Sea Monster’s First Day help students, parents and teachers address some of the fears and challenges that come at the end of summer and the beginning of the school year.
“Sea Monster keeps delivering important messages in fun ways.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Genuine enthusiasm and humor”—School Library Journal
We were thrilled to be asked to participate in this Blog Tour about such important issues for kids in school. I loved sharing these with my kids and it spurred some great discussion that helps then to see ways to handle things in a very positive way.
