Carole Jevons, Neighbor

Carole Jevons is a former preschool teacher, childcare provider, and mother of three, with a lifelong love for nurturing young children’s curiosity and creativity. What Does Miss Sue Do? was born from a simple but surprising moment: while teaching preschool, Carole often ran into her students at the park or grocery store in her neighborhood—and they didn’t quite know what to make of it. Some would shyly hide behind their parents, unsure why their teacher wasn’t in the classroom where she “belonged.” It was then that she realized that young children often imagine their teachers live at school.
