Mary Bleckwehl

As a child growing up on a dairy farm in northeast Iowa, Mary Evanson Bleckwehl loved school and had nightmares about not getting up in time to make the bus. She did make it to school every day and has now created Henry! You’re Late Again about Henry, an imaginative first grader who is in a predicament every morning as his family just can’t seem to get him to school on time. Henry’s dreaded encounters with the school secretary feed his imagination about just what kind of a person she is until one day, he arrives really late—AGAIN—and she’s not scowling, growling, or shouting “HENRY! You’re late AGAIN” at him. In fact, she’s smiling! Using years of teaching experience and stories from school children she taught, Mary has created a touching tale that will resonate with every child from three to ninety-three, one that reminds our inner soul that there are things that are out of our control.
