In Cynthia Centerbar’s debut picture book, THANK YOU PINE STREET, precocious Patty worries she isn’t ready for kindergarten. As Patty says goodbye to her beloved preschool, each memorable thank you gives her confidence, transforming her worry into excitement for her first ride on the yellow bus.

Cynthia Centerbar moved to Shrewsbury, MA in 2005 and discovered the Little Beginnings Preschool, a local landmark on Floral Street, while out for a walk. When she got the idea to write THANK YOU PINE STREET, a story inspired by the note she helped her children send to the family’s preschool when they moved, she knew right away Little Beginnings would be the cover. “It’s just such a welcoming building.”
