The Best Teacher in Second Grade
Fitting in at a new school can be hard. But Luna’s teacher, Mr. Hopper, shares her fascination with stars and planets and that’s helped her feel welcome. But when Luna suggests her class do a show about the night sky for Family Night, no one else shares her enthusiasm. They think her ideas are strange, especially the one about a nighttime circus. When they laughed at her, “She felt as small / as a speck of dust in space.” At home, “Luna shoved her telescope / deep into her closet / and hated the sky until Monday.” It turns out, however, that Luna’s idea saves the day in Katharine Kenah’s optimistic story featuring a singular girl who shines.
