Ms. Bernice to the Rescue
Written by Chelsea Lin Wallace and Illustrated by Thyra Heder
"[with] gentle rhyming text. . . . Kids will recognize the sheer amount of work a single day can entail. Happily, in a surprise twist, not only is Ms. B celebrated by the student body, but at home she finally gets to put her feet up as her husband does the dishes. Rhymes scan without difficulty, never causing a trip of the lips when reading aloud. Heder’s art, meanwhile, is cartoonish, bouncy, and fun, evoking the feel of Jane O’Connor work. A loving, long-overdue tribute to custodians and the work that they do." —Kirkus Reviews
