Award-Winning Picture Book About Self-Discovery and Adventure
Winner of the 2016 Mildred L. Batchelder Award
This hardcover picture book tells the charming story of five-and-a-half-year-old Eddie, who embarks on a neighborhood quest to find the perfect birthday present for her little sister. When Eddie overhears her sister say "birthday--Mommy--fluffy--little--squishy," she sets out to discover what this mysterious gift could be.
A Story That Celebrates Children's Natural Talents
Eddie feels like everyone in her family has a special talent except her. This adventure becomes her chance to shine as she visits neighbors throughout her community—the florist, the chic boutique owner, the antiques dealer, and even the intimidating butcher. Through this journey, Eddie discovers and learns to appreciate her own unique gifts: her gregarious nature, her charm, and her cleverness.
Perfect for Young Readers Ages 4-8
This picture book addresses themes that resonate with young children: sibling relationships, confidence building, problem-solving, and self-discovery. The narrative encourages children to recognize that the adventures they create for themselves are often the most meaningful experiences.
