" You are going to read-- I promise you that." Little Trisha is overjoyed at the thought of starting school and learning to read. But right from the start, when she tries to read, all the letters and numbers just get jumbled up. Her classmates make matters worse by calling he " dummy " and " toad ". Then in fifth grade a new teacher comes. A real character! He sees right through the sad little girl to the artist she really is. When he discovers Trisha's secret- that she still can't read - he sets out to help her prove to herself that she can.

This autobiographical story is one close to Patricia's heart. It is her personal song of thanks and praise to teachers like Mr. Falker, who quietly but surely change the lives of the children they teach.
