Teddy is not Miss Thompson's favorite student. He doesn't focus in class, his homework is never complete, and he comes to school unkempt.

Miss Thompson's profound realization changes her attitude and behavior forever; in turn, young Teddy begins to truly blossom.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Miss Thompson's student Teddy was a boy she just didn't like. But when Teddy gives her a gaudy rhinestone bracelet and a half a bottle of perfume for Christmas--things that belonged to his mother who has died--she has a complete change of heart. Through her attention and efforts to help him, Teddy also changes--with amazing results.

The Bracelet is a tender story of how a teacher's influence can change a life forever. It's the perfect gift for the teacher in your life, or for anyone who has ever been touched by the difference one person can make.

From the Back Cover:

One struggling student + one caring teacher = a world of possibilities
