 A Perfect Book for the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!


On the first day of school, Miss Lucinda asks the students to share their talents. Francesca is good

at soccer, and Matthew is good at fishing. It seems that everyone has something to share. But Jack is worried.He doesn’t have any talent at all…or so he thinks.The illustrations in Jack's Talent pop with energy and the story is the perfect boost for any

child who questions his or her abilities.

Reviews for Jack's Talent:
A reassuring confidence booster, encouraging children-and their adults-to creatively think about what they enjoy, their abilities, and how to recognize and celebrate individual accomplishments." -Booklist
               

"Warm illustrations of the enthusiastic students help make

this a nice choice for those just starting school. --Kirkus

"Teachers will want to use this at the beginning of a school year, but children will find piquant details in the pictures when they return to it later on theirown."-Horn Book
