The New York Times declared: \"Henkes's delightful story is restrained and vivid ...forgoing the overdramatic or zany, it shows the substance, warmth and adaptability of beautifully common family love.\" When Billy Miller has a mishap at the statue of the Jolly Green Giant at the end of summer vacation, he ends up with a big lump on his head. What a way to start second grade, with a lump on your head! As the year goes by, though, Billy figures out how to navigate elementary school, how to appreciate his little sister, and how to be a more grown up and responsible member of the family and a help to his busy working mom and stay-at-home dad. Newbery Honor author and Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes delivers a short, satisfying, laugh-out-loud-funny school and family story that features a diorama homework assignment, a school poetry slam, cancelled sleepovers, and epic sibling temper tantrums. This is a perfect short novel for the early elementary grades.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53669610520849,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780062268143.jpg?v=1781509530","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-year-of-billy-miller-by-kevin-henkes","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
