Sean's entry into first grade was not so easy-does-it. Let me put it this way, the students were introduced to the new kid in town on a daily basis for the rest of the year. He pitched a lot of fits but what stood out the most that year was his fixation on the book, The Animal Atlas.
He borrowed the book from his cousins with the intention of never giving it back. I saw a new obsession emerge and it was one I could live with. So what if it was a kinkajou from the rainforest that had us suddenly communicating like long lost friends? We were in Animal Heaven for two different reasons: Sean, for the content and me, for the contentment.
