About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a new leadership role, like becoming a classroom helper or a team captain, and seems more anxious about being perfect than excited about the job. It is a gentle, humorous way to address the pressure children feel to have all the answers when others are looking to them for direction. Set in a reimagined elementary school version of The Office, the story follows Michael Scott as he navigates his first day as Line Leader. While he desperately wants to be the world's best leader, he quickly realizes that leading a group is harder than it looks. Through Michael's funny missteps, children learn that true leadership involves listening to others and knowing when to ask for help. It is an ideal choice for kids ages 4 to 8 who are learning to balance personal ambition with teamwork and humility.
