About the Book

Evelyn is lots of things. Circus performer. Antarctic explorer. I''m not.

Here is the perfect book for children who feel like their outgoing friend is oh-so-talented . . . and they''re not. Our shy narrator lists all the things that her best friend, Evelyn, is good at—from jumping on the bed to roller skating really fast. Luckily, Evelyn points out what makes her so special: she''s a one-of-a-kind true blue best friend. Robert Weinstock''s hilarious illustrations wonderfully complement Pam Smallcomb''s simple text, perfect for young children. This sweet depiction of friendship shows—in a completely fresh, original way—that everyone is special.
