Author Notes

Todd Parr was born on July 9, 1962. In 1995 he moved to San Francisco, California where he pursued a career as an artist. After being rejected by many galleries, he showed his artwork at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant Postrio. This exhibit led to him creating merchandise for Macy's and his own children's clothing line.

He is the author and illustrator of over 30 children's books which contain simple messages about acceptance, difference, and empowerment including The Thankful Book. In 2005 the preschool television show he created, ToddWorld, premiered on TLC and Discovery Kids.

School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 1-A superb selection about teachers and all they do for their students. They teach children new things, inspire creativity, and help them realize their talents. The best ones make kids laugh, provide comfort, and help when it is needed the most. Teachers do their best to make their classrooms feel like they are the greatest place to be. They celebrate events throughout the year, take the class on field trips, and make families feel welcome. Teachers buy supplies and decorations, allow an assortment of creatures for show-and-tell, and assist students with all types of problems. A section at the end of the book helps young ones understand that teachers are regular people who sleep at night, spill things on the floor, brush their teeth, and even buy underwear. As with all of his titles, Parr has included simple and powerful, kid-friendly illustrations. The colors are bright, vivid, and eye-catching. Animal characters help make this book entertaining and truly diverse. VERDICT A fun offering to share with any preschool class.-Barbara Spiri, Southborough Library, MA © Copyright 2016.

Booklist Review

The latest offering in Parr's self-help and positive thinking titles for preschoolers is a paean to educators. Using simple language, he enumerates the many fine qualities of teachers: they foster a love of learning, encourage creativity, read to you, make you laugh, allow you to share your favorite things, take you on field trips, and love to see you succeed. An appended author's note encourages children to thank their teachers for all they do. As in his earlier books, Parr's signature illustration style cheerful, cartoonish figures outlined in heavy black line and digitally tinted with vivid color is sure to attract browsers, who will then be intrigued by the often humorous details. One spread, for example, depicts a smiling teacher preparing to clean up a puddle under Dog's desk, while a chalkboard note reminds students to wear new underwear. Although many teachers will probably be uncomfortable patting themselves on the back by reading this story to their own students, it will be useful for parents, especially those with school-phobic offspring.--Weisman, Kay Copyright 2016 Booklist
