Description

Cora June is B-O-S-S-Y!
She stops her teacher’s boring assignments. She dictates the games people play at recess. She even objects to family dinners. If Cora June doesn’t get her way in the classroom, on the playground or at home, she makes life miserable for those around her. Will anyone put the brakes on her outlandish demands? And will Cora June ever realize that she can be a leader, but still be flexible? Or that there’s a difference between being assertive and being bossy?
See what lessons are learned in this thought-provoking tale about the benefits of not always getting your way. It’s My Way or the Highway is the first title in an exciting new storybook series, The Leader I’ll Be!, by award-winning author Julia Cook.

Hi all educators and parents!! Boy, do I have a book for you to read to your little ones. @juliacookonline did a phenomenal job writing Its My Way or the Highway. She goes into great detail on how this little girl wants everything done her way and likes to be the boss. Towards the end of the book it demonstrates how mom sits her down and explains that she has to be a good listener. She goes on to tell her that she can’t be bossing people around. Julia Cook also gives some amazing tips at the end of the book on what to do and/or say to children that are going through this tough stage in their lives. I will definitely be reading this book to my students and my children!! Thank you @juliacookonline #netgalley #Itsmywayorthehighway

As an elementary school library tech, I am always looking for "lesson" stories to read in-between the silly, funny ones. I'm very pleased with IT'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY. It's engaging and funny and with colorful illustrations to keep students interested. As I read it, I could almost hear my students gasping and commenting on what Cora June said or did that wasn't nice. By the end of the story I appreciated that Cora June is aware and working on her behavior instead of suddenly changed.
I'm looking forward to ordering IT'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY for my school library. I'm also interested in Julia Cook's other titles.
