Reach for this book when your child struggles with perfectionism or finds it difficult to work in a group without taking over. It is a wonderful tool for teaching children that being a 'leader' also means being a listener and a collaborator. The story follows Aven Green, a spirited girl born without arms, as she enters a baking competition with her friends and realizes that her greatest challenge isn't her physical disability, but her own bossiness. This early chapter book is perfect for ages 6 to 9. It offers a refreshing, humorous perspective on disability where the focus is not on the character's 'limitations' but on her personal growth and social-emotional development. Parents will appreciate how it models healthy conflict resolution and the importance of apologizing when you have let your ego get in the way of your friendships.
