Elementary School Teacher’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Elementary School Teacher’s Pick 2023.01.02 Children’s books heal not only children’s hearts, but adults’ hearts as well. The first children’s book I would like to introduce today is a picture book titled Magic Candies (Bear Books Inc.). Have you ever imagined reading other people’s minds? Have you ever been upset by your parents for not loving you? The first appearance of Dongdong, the main character in the book, starts with a scene where he plays alone.

After eating one, he starts to hear weird things ? he could hear what ot...
