(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jim Burke. Author Wood tells how he resented the extra reading practice his second-grade teacher required of him. Slowly, though, he finds a story with which he connects. Ultimately the adult Douglas thanks his teacher for her "gift of extra time and extra care" with a copy of his first published work. Expressive oil paintings reflect the picture book memoir's inspirational and encouraging tone.
