We cant believe its really here!

The ending of an awesome year.

Reviews

"Cheerful, chunky-outlined illustrations reminiscent of Varons graphic-novel art make this picture book solidly appealing for early elementary school students. Each moment is endearing, with gobs of visual interest and opportunities for conversation starters about feelings and school memories. A loving tribute to the efforts of hardworking educators." Kirkus Reviews
