Each of the other sled dogs is special in their own way. Boo is fast. Donut is brave. Jenga is smart. And Leap wonders: Is she special\, too? \nThis empowering story reminds us that anything is possible when teamwork\, individuality\, and friendship grow in leaps and bounds.\nIncludes an author’s note with photos of the real-life Leap and her teammates! \nAbout BLAIR BRAVERMAN: \nBlair Braverman is a writer\, dogsledder\, and adventurer.

Other times you need to be with friends–those you know and those you’ve only just met. And sometimes everyone works together to create something wonderful. \nWhat can one person do all alone? Quite a lot\, actually. Even so\, there are times it helps to work with others. With spare\, lyrical text\, bestselling author Pat Zietlow Miller celebrates the power of being alone–and of coming together with others–centered on the love of reading and creating community around books. This is a book about trusting yourself and your ideas\, seeing a need\, and connecting with others to meet it. \nPerfect for introverts\, quiet leaders\, and anyone who loves books and little libraries. \nAbout PAT ZIETLOW MILLER: \nPat Zietlow Miller has published 22 picture books and has more on the way.
