Dino Days of School

BY LACY DAVIS HITT

While an assistant professor in Southeastern’s College of Education, Lacy Davis Hitt created and published Dino Days of School, a charming children’s book that also conveys some important life lessons.

Published by Yorkshire Publishing, the book tells the story of an ordinary girl who inadvertently begins to turn into a dinosaur after starting school, causing struggles, until a new teacher steps up to help.

“Every child is unique with their own struggles and hardships,” the book description states. “There is no one size fits all model for children. Even something as small as picking up a book for someone or having a kind thing to say can make a difference in someone's life. As a person in a child's life or a child yourself, will you be the change?”
