School Year Jitters
What's This Book About
In this epistolary follow-up to the best-selling First Day Jitters and Last Day Blues, Mrs. Hartwell receives letters over the course of one school year from just about everyone. As every first-year teacher knows, a classroom full of second graders can be alarmingly unpredictable.The letters the children write to Mrs. Hartwell are sympathetic (I figured you might be a little scared, just like me); informative (…most kids don’t eat cauliflower); encouraging (Yesterday was THE BEST!); and apologetic (I’m sorry about throwing up all over your shoes). Even a local firefighter writes to Sarah Jane. Fun, funny, and heart-warming, Danneberg’s The Jitters series is sure to delight both teachers and children as they follow Mrs. Hartwell and her class through the year. With School Year Jitters, classes will be inspired to write letters to their own teachers about their favorite, or wildest, days of the year.

The Creatives Behind the Book
After graduating from the University of Colorado, Boulder, Julie Danneberg became a teacher. In her classroom, she read many children’s books and witnessed the profound impact a good book can have on a child. “I was motivated to try and write books like the ones I enjoy reading.” Julie earned great success with First Day Jitters–the funny and engaging story of Sarah Jane Hartwell’s first day at a new school. The surprise ending charms and delights readers time and again. Teachers and students alike love these stories, and they are perennial favorites for back-to-school. Julie lives with her husband and two children in Denver. She teaches at a local middle school where she garners ideas for her books. When she’s not writing, Julie enjoys reading, quilting, gardening, and spending time with her family. Judy Love is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design. She has illustrated numerous children’s books, including First Day Jitters and Last Day Blues by Julie Danneberg. She lives in North Carolina.
