Lilly absolutely adores her teacher, Mr. Slinger, but when he takes away her jingly quarters, movie-star glasses, and purple plastic purse because she is being disruptive, she changes her tune. She begins to make nasty pictures of her once beloved teacher, and sneaks them into his bookbag. But what happens when Mr. Slinger gives her her stuff back with a note and some snacks? A lovely story about forgiveness.
