Description

Why is his brother Finn the first to fly? And why can Otter flip, but Boone can’t? And what’s with Beaver’s big tail? It just doesn’t seem fair! What Boone doesn’t realize at first is that everyone is different. All of the animals at the pond are born with different talents. Different sizes and shapes. And different abilities. Fortunately, Boone is surrounded by friends who help him understand it’s natural to look at what others have and wonder what it would be like to be like them. But it’s more important for Boone to recognize his own strengths and talents, to be grateful for those, and to work hard to earn what more he wants. Another terrific tale written and illustrated by the talented Lisa M. Griffin will engage young readers and help remind them of the importance of gratitude and hard work.

Awards & Endorsements

Review
“This is an excellent picture book to foster a discussion about envy and jealousy and being grateful for what you have. I love that the book focuses on appreciating what makes you happy, rather than dwelling on what you don’t have or can’t do. I highly recommend this book for parents and teachers alike.” – Debbie Hamilton, Elementary School Teacher , “Boone is a cute, relatable character that develops a growth mindset about envy and jealousy. Many children will benefit from Boone, whether it is in their home library, classroom/school library, or used for social skills in guidance classes! I can’t wait to share this book with my teachers and students.” – Pamela Blais, Assistant Principal
