Vera Runs Away - Hardcover
"After a little while, Vera began to feel hungry. She could tell it was dinner time by the way the sun looked in the sky. She wondered if her family was missing her now.
After making straight As on her first report card, proud little Vera hurries all the way home from school to show her family. But when she gets there, everyone seems too busy to notice her good grades. Feeling sad and a bit angry, Vera packs some socks and underpants in a big red handkerchief and runs away. But later, when she returns home, Vera discovers how much everyone had worried about her."
In this reassuring story, Vera realizes just how special she is and, most importantly, that "when you do well, you are doing well for yourself.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Vera Rosenberry is the author and illustrator of When Vera Was Sick and Vera's First Day of School. The mother of two grown children, Ms. Rosenberry lives in Cambridge, England, with her husband.
The day that report cards go home is a BIG one for first-graders. After peeking into the envelopes, Vera listens as friend Norman expounds upon how his family would respond to Veras report card. Yet families are different, and Vera is not pleased when her family is too busy, at first, to celebrate her grades. Laura Hamilton knows Vera and each family member well. She is the distracted mom with a new baby, the sisters who dont think much about first-grade firsts, and the dad who is mired in tools and toilet repairs. As Vera, she pouts and plans, regrets, and reaches new understanding and joy with childlike verve. The background track sounds just like a busy household.
