Chapter 1: Notes From School
Tony was the most attentive student in Ms. Lillian's first grade class.
It had nothing to do with the fact that Ms. Lillian always wore a bright blue scare-rabbit broach everyday (Yes, it did). It had nothing to do with the fact that Ms. Lillian's hair was red like the fire-trucks he saw on the way to school everyday (Yes, it did). And it definitely had nothing to do with the fact that Ms. Lillian wore the same perfume he vaguely remembered his mom wearing (Yes…it definitely did).
Ok. So, none of those were the biggest reason that Tony was the most attentive student in her class. The biggest reason Tony was Ms. Lillian's best and brightest was because every time he did well in class, Ms. Lillian would send a "Super Duper Day" note home.
Tony could barely contain himself on those days. He would eagerly wait in the living room for his new papa, "Jefro," to get home. As soon as his papa walked through the door, Tony would thrust the note into his face and say "I din't wasse good today papa! Wule 5!" Jethro would then immediately read the note, slightly crinkle his eyes while fixing his face into not a smile, ruffle Tony's hair, and say "Atta Boy."
