Experience the special connection between a little girl and her first-grade teacher and discover the value of a good friend.
A friend can be found anywhere, whether at school, at church, on a sports team, or in the neighborhood. But finding a true friend that understands, believes in and pushes you to be better is invaluable.
On the last day of first grade, author Dorbenia Santana was asked a question by her first-grade teacher. "Do you want to be pen-pals?" Little did she know at the time she was being offered a lifelong friendship. Over three decades later, the pair continue to communicate through letters, emails, phone calls and visits.
Inspired by the true story of author Dorbenia Santana's special connection with her first-grade teacher, A Letter from Miss Vickers, chronicles Santana's years long correspondence with her beloved teacher and how her letters had a profound impact on her life. Highlighting the importance of nurturing friendships, the book helps young readers see the value of friendship while acknowledging that a good friendship can overcome any obstacle.
