Lila Greer, Teacher of the Year by Andrea Beaty

inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

 
This book makes you want to cry. In a good way. It follows many of the other books in this series about a kid needing to find an answer for themselves. In this case, Lila Grier is afraid of the “what if”. But teacher helps her through this in the kindest way possible and leads to her becoming a teacher later in life. This book rhymes throughout and it’s very well done. The illustrations are fun but a bit old-fashioned. The historical times you expect to be but when Lila becomes a teacher the pencil skirt and heels seems a little old-fashioned, but I love it. All in total, this is a great book to add to this series.
