But when she has to speak in front of the whole classroom, she feels like a nervous, wobbly mess. Her legs tremble, her voice shakes, her words jumble together, and something always seems to go wrong. Miss Betsy doesn't know what to do; she loves teaching more than anything! With the support of her mentor and a kind student who helps her feel less alone, she discovers her spark and realizes she is exactly where she's meant to be. Miss Betsy the Student Teacher is an inspiring story about following your dreams even when they feel scary. This book is perfect for children, student teachers, and anyone beginning something new. It reminds readers that it's okay to make mistakes, that it's okay to feel unsure, and that everyone has fears-they're part of learning.

Author Information

Maggie Boudreaux is from Lafayette, Louisiana, and graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in early childhood education. She was inspired to write Miss Betsy the Student Teacher because she loves creating fun stories and wanted to write something that she and others could truly relate to. Maggie believes that having something to relate to can make you feel less alone, and she hopes future teachers-or anyone trying something new and a little scary-can see a bit of themselves in Miss Betsy. In her free time, Maggie enjoys drawing, photography, fashion, sewing, crocheting, designing, and playing with her dog, Kermit. She wrote and illustrated this book while completing her student teaching, and several scenes are inspired by her childhood and the experiences that shaped her path to becoming a teacher.
