Description
An inspiring (and funny) tale about celebrating our strengths!
Enter Garrett’s world, where math and science reign supreme, and writing takes a backseat to his elaborate imagination.
Garrett would rather be doing ANYTHING else when it’s writing time in class. You’ll be laughing at what some of those things are! When Garrett says he’d rather be doing anything instead of writing, he means ANYTHING! When faced with the task of writing, Garrett’s imagination takes over and he can’t believe he’s daydreaming of brushing his teeth and babysitting his sister, just to name a few! Typically stuff that most kids grumble at doing on a regular day.

Reviews:
“Renee Hayes’ story is well written…children sometimes doubt themselves when they pick up a pen. Fear of expressing himself, is something Garrett experienced. But with gentle encouragement and no pressure, children may not only surprise their teacher but also themselves with tales waiting to be written…Get Out Your Paper tackles the nervousness some people feel, especially when they know that after they have written what they need to say, somebody else will read and judge it. I highly recommend Get Out Your Paper to be read by all children aged four and over.” — Rosie Malezer, Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Review
