About This Book
This charming early chapter book follows Mollie and her curious classmates as they try to solve the mystery of their teacher, Mrs. Marsh. Because Mrs. Marsh is always the first to arrive and the last to leave, the children are certain she must live at school. Their imaginative theories and detective work lead to a fun, surprising revelation that teachers, like everyone else, have homes and lives outside of school. It's a gentle story perfect for ages 4-11, normalizing children's curiosity about adults and offering a heartwarming look at school life.
Because Mrs Marsh is always in her classroom before the students arrive and always stays after they leave, Mollie becomes convinced that her teacher has no home other than the school.
