Caring for Elizabeth

Book Cover & Preview Text
Mrs. Lyn was excited to be back in the classroom. She had been away for a whole year, and she had missed the chatter, the giggles, and the funny noises of her little people. She looked over the sea of familiar faces. There was Luke — the cheeky smile, the twinkling eyes full of mischief. “Oh my goodness!” she exclaimed. “You have all grown up so much. We are going to have the most wonderful year together!” The morning passed with rules and routines. They wrote their classroom promises and hung them proudly by the door. They chose their seats… and then Mrs. Lyn moved them! Luke’s hand shot up. “Mrs. Lyn, where have you been all year? Why did you leave us?” The other children joined in. “Yes, tell us!” Mrs. Lyn took a deep breath. “I’ve been caring for Elizabeth,” she said softly.
