Leadership Book

Young Spoon comes from a loving family of related cutlery: teaspoons, ladles, and slotted spoons. (His great grandmother was that famous spoon that ran away with the dish.) But Spoon begins to feel jealous of his silverware friends, envying their talents and abilities. Knife can cut and spread peanut butter. Fork is so versatile, and those chopsticks are “cool”. Spoon doesn’t realize that Fork, Knife and Chopsticks are all actually envious of him. Spoon’s mother helps him see things in a new way, though! (How fortunate he is to be able to dig into a bowl of ice cream!) With a renewed outlook, Spoon’s perspective changes, and he can see just how lucky he is to be himself. In this tender picture book filled with illustrations brimming with joyful personality, Amy Krouse Rosenthal shows young readers the magic of being you!
