Hurry, Kate, or You'll Be Late! Juvenile Fiction / Family - Multigenerational / People & Places - Africa / Readers - Chapter Books The New York Times BookA young girl stops to call out all the sights and sounds on her morning trip to pre school, but thats not what makes her lateit is her dads goodbye hug. Kate was late for preschool, but not for the reasons you might expect. It wasnt because her daddy brushed her hair into poofs, or because they slowed to say hello to neighbors on the way to the bus stop. It wasnt even because she had to wave to all the trucks, cars, and street cleaners on the road.
