About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is hesitant to try something new because of a more dominant peer or when they are learning how to handle competition with grace. It is a perfect tool for navigating the transition from follower to leader, especially for children who may feel intimidated by more vocal classmates. The story follows Eva Wingdale as she makes a brave, spontaneous decision to run for class president to ensure her classmates have a choice, rather than letting a bossy student win by default. This early chapter book uses a friendly diary format to explore themes of civic responsibility, self-confidence, and fair play. It is written for ages 5 to 8, specifically designed for newly independent readers who are building their reading stamina. Parents will appreciate how it models healthy competition and shows that winning isn't the only way to be a leader: it is about the effort and the ideas you bring to the table.
