Illustrated by
Paul Brewer.
As Robert begins a new school year with a crisis of confidence, this story unfolds through short chapters and natural language. Seuling nails that self-consciousness that many children endure when they begin to make baby steps away from the crowd. Brewer's spot art serves as a visual preview for each chapter, while his larger illustrations provide text breaks and reflect the action.
