A Fine, Fine School

In "A Fine, Fine School," Principal Mr. Keene's overwhelming enthusiasm for his school leads him to extend the school year to include weekends, holidays, and even summer. His well-intentioned but misguided plan means students have no time for play, family, or personal interests. It falls to a thoughtful student named Tillie to gently, yet firmly, explain to Mr. Keene that a balance between learning and free time is crucial for everyone's well-being. This charming picture book, suitable for ages 3-7, offers a humorous and heartwarming look at the importance of advocating for one's needs and finding joy outside of structured environments. It's a wonderful conversation starter about balance, passion, and respectful communication.

When a principal loves his school so much that he wants the children to attend classes every day of the year, it is up to his students to show him free time is a good thing, too.
