A Mom's Choice Awards® Silver Medalist honoring excellence and a Five Stars Readers’ Favorite®!

A children's picture book and fun story about a teacher making school exciting and fascinating.

"The relatable theme is approached in an easy-to-understand manner, which children of different ages could relate to. It also offers a good understanding of the benefits of school attendance. Helps encourage empathy and helping others."

--WRITER'S DIGEST Judge, 27th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards

"A cute, clever, picture of a school in which learning, fun, and creativity are combined. The illustrations are colorful and appealing. The setting is idyllic and the story gentle and funny, and young children may be left wishing their school was more like Max's."

-Indie Reader

“I enjoyed this book as much as I did Books 1 and 2 of the Horse Valley Adventure series. Liana-Melissa Allen provides children with not only a book of beautiful illustrations and a great story, but each child will leave with a variety of life lessons and solutions to some of the challenges that they face every day.” – A Five Stars Readers’ Favorite®

"Max's Day at School has a 'sweet and salty' energy to it." --CS Editor

"I really loved this book. It is relevant to any age group in my opinion. I think that all teachers can learn something from Ms. Sugar. An ideal book for those who value imagination and the positive learning process." -- R. Wylie, Amazon Customer

"Great Story, Great Illustrations! This book was a breath of fresh air for us as parents, and our 5 1/2-year-old son absolutely loved it. This is a great, down-to-earth story with even better illustrations. I would highly recommend this book to any parent who is tired of reading the run-of-the-mill books to their kids!" --- J. I. Amazon Customer

QUOTES FROM THE BOOK'S TEACHER, MS. SUGAR:

"Knowledge is food for your imagination, and imagination is something we definitely want to feed well and nurture."

"If you believe in yourself, you can do anything you set your mind to, even if it seems too hard at first."
