博客來From the moment Violet broke through her shell, this alligator had quite the story to tell. She was rescued by an alligator named Indigo that happened to be swimming by when they hatched. Indigo was compassionate and determined to take care of Violet, Eggplant, Plum, and Periwinkle. This new alligator mom raised them as her own children and taught them to swim, swish, splash and snap. Soon the alligator siblings were ready for their first day of school so Indigo rowed them down the river for their first day of school at their local ＂Snapping School＂ located on the bayou. Everyone loved school, except Violet. Through perseverance, love, counseling, and extra support at school, Violet overcame her emotional and academic struggles and learned to SNAP! This is a beautiful story of adoption and relentless determination to ensure that no matter their background, every alligator kid deserves to succeed! Just because alligators face academic and emotional challenges doesn’t mean that they can’t SNAP their way to the top. This community of alligators worked closely together to ensure that every alligator student knew they were Loved, Snappy, and SMART!
The author of this book experienced the same life experiences as Violet. At the age of four she fell in love with alligators and found comfort in anything alligators. She faced the same fears as Violet, the same emotional trauma, the same frustrations in learning, the same transitions from teacher to teacher, and many therapeutic practices. Because she was surrounded by so many educators and people of impact that supported her all the way, she is thriving in life and happy going to school. Sydney still loves alligators just as much if not more than ever before.Today she is a vibrant alligator loving thirteen-year-old student that is Loved, Snappy, and SMART!
