32 p., Farrar Straus Giroux, 2007.
Sometimes children may not be aware of attributes they could be proud of. Such is the case for Jack as he starts school. His teacher, Miss Lucinda, asks all the children in his class to tell her what their special talent is. When it's Jack's turn, he says that he isn't good at anything. But Miss Lucinda recognizes that he's good at remembering - he has remembered all the other children's names and talents. This story not only encourages children to identify their talents, but also shows them how to do this and gives examples of big and small things they can be proud of - from soccer and spelling to bug catching and dog training.
