Carolyn loves second grade...until her difficulty with cursive
handwriting shakes her confidence! If your child is struggling with
fancy handwriting books or school assignments then this sweet picture
book is for you. Perfect for teachers searching for genius and anxiety
resources for their classrooms!
Stacey Coolidge is the best at handwriting. She hardly ever uses her
eraser. But Carolyn isn't doing as well. Carolyn has been practicing
cursive handwriting every day for weeks, and not only is she not going
to get to play with Frederick, the class guinea pig, but her handwriting
is also not much better than a guinea pig's. It's a good thing that her
teacher, Mrs. Thompson, is able to turn her frustration into confidence!
This simple and humorous story reinforces the idea that practice always
helps but that the end goal is not always perfection!
The Adventures of Everyday Geniuses series is meant to demonstrate
various forms of learning, creativity, and intelligence. Each book
introduces a realistic example of triumph over difficulty in a positive,
humorous way that readers of all ages will enjoy!

This is a wonderful book series. Each story shows children that success
