A warm, wonderful story about a 5 year-old girl who loves the stories and poems read to her by her mom so much that she wants to learn to read stories and poems for herself. She begs to go to school. When told she’s too young, she takes her case to the school’s principal, shows him how much she already taught herself…and he lets her into his school! A beautifully instructive story about how much control we actually have over our lives.
