In a compelling and beautifully illustrated story, an award-winning author tells of the teacher who led him to love reading, in spite of his ADHD. Douglas is the youngest, smallest, and newest student in his second grade class, and he doesn t like reading. He doesn t like sitting still. And he doesn t like Miss Little, especially when she makes him stay after class day after day, forcing him to sound out lines and blobs and squiggles when he d rather be throwing a football.
