a child holding up the children's book, A Guinea Pig by Any Other Name, by Sarah R Barlow.

Meet Guinguin, the charismatic classroom companion, and Leona, the determined yet slightly nervous new student at Great Elm School. In this captivating tale, Guinguin dreams of showcasing his talents in the school talent show, but there's a catch—animals aren't allowed to participate! Will Guinguin and Leona find a way to overcome this rule and make Guinguin's dream come true?


Drop Shadow

“Class, I’d like to introduce you to our new student, Leona. Why don’t you tell us about yourself?"

Leona’s eyes widened as she squeezed a yellow, fuzzy stuffed chicken hanging from her bag. Ms. Molly saw that Leona was scared and told us that she had just moved here from across the country. Leona found her desk as Ms. Molly announced reading time.

We sit with our class during reading time!

Hang out with them on special days, and teach them things.
