Dear Substitute

When a substitute teacher messes with well-established classroom routines, it’s easy to get upset and overwhelmed. Thanks to poetry and the patient Miss Pelly, the day doesn’t end up half bad! Co-authored by Audrey Vernick, illustrated by Chris Raschka, originally published by Disney/Hyperion in 2018 and now by Little, Brown and Company.
