About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are the only one not fitting in, or when they are struggling with a project or situation that looks different from their peers. It is a perfect choice for kids who feel a sense of 'otherness' or social anxiety regarding their performance in group settings. Sallie is the only student in her class whose science project egg hatches into a large, scaly, green creature instead of a fluffy yellow chick. As her classmates' pets behave predictably, Sallie deals with the chaos, mess, and confusion of raising Argus. This humorous but touching story explores themes of belonging, acceptance, and the realization that what makes us different can also make us special. It is ideally suited for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the social pressures of school life and learning to take pride in their unique path.
