Posey loves first grade, her two new best friends, and, most of all, her teacher Miss Lee.
Stephanie Greene is a long time fan of princesses. She admires their tutus and glittery veils and necklaces - the works! She is happy that reviewers think Posey is "charming" and "sparkly" and hopes her readers will love all of the new Posey books, too. Stephanie Greene lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
“It is an impressive feat when just a few short sentences can relay
the complicated relationship dynamics as perceived by a
first-grader, but Greene does it again and again as she chronicles
Posey’s emotional endeavors with tenderness and compassion. Young
readers will relate to Posey’s need to feel special in the eyes of
one she admires, and they’ll be delighted when she finds a way to
do so while remaining true to herself.” — Bulletin of the Center
for Children's Books
“Greene continues to get the social dynamic of first-grade girls
perfect. . . . Very short chapters, generous font, lots of
eye-saving white space on each page and frequent black-and-white
illustrations make this early chapter book accessible to the very
earliest reader. Posey is flawed in a way that is absolutely
perfect. She struggles with her emotions and finds her way back
with the help of her mother, teacher and small circle of buddies.”
— Kirkus Reviews
"Once again, Greene’s brief chapters capture a first grader’s
enthusiasm, small but real heartache, and problem-solving
gumption--thank goodness for that pink tutu that turns Posey into
Princess Posey, who 'wouldn’t cry if someone gave the same present.
She would just think of another present.'" — The Horn Book
