A tender tale about facing your fears and finding your path,
illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Doug Salati
When Lawrence Fox's teacher announces that students will be presenting
things they collect at show-and-tell, Lawrence panics. All of his
classmates have impressive collections: coins, combs, marbles...but
Lawrence doesn't have anything to share.
Luckily, Papa knows where to find something magical: the deep, dark
woods. Lawrence is scared at first, but as he grows more comfortable, he
starts to recognize the uniqueness of the forest and its creatures.
Here, amid the towering trees and their array of colorful leaves,
Lawrence just may find a splendid, one-of-a-kind collection of his own.
With gentle storytelling by Matthew Farina and sensitively rendered
illustrations by Doug Salati, this heartfelt story celebrates
individuality and the power of nature to inspire us.
