By Linda Ragsdale (Author) and Anoosha Syed (Illustrator)

This encouraging tale—about a daring letter in the alphabet who wants to stand out—uses clever plays on words to deliver a message about creativity, individuality, and following one’s dreams. Because the character letter is “I”, the story can be read in both first- and third-person. Rather clever, indeed!
