Not long ago, I didn't want to go to school at all! I trembled at the thought of leaving my parents and was afraid of the new teacher I had to call "ma'am." However, from the very first day, two gentle and tender hands embraced me and changed everything!
A sweet story, set against the backdrop of the school environment, about the value of educators and the love students have for them!

It is ideal for talking about the importance of teachers in children's lives, their positive impact on their development, and the strong bond that can develop between them.

- Ask the child: Who is your favorite teacher and why? What do you like most about school and your teacher? Have you ever felt fear or anxiety about something new, like school, and how did your teacher help you overcome it?
- Create: A group "thank you" card for the class teacher, write short stories or poems about your favorite moments at school, or organize a small surprise party for your teachers at the end of the year.
