Miss Lucinda introduces herself to Jack's class with her name and talent: "I am good at gardening." Likewise, the children introduce themselves, and Cocca-Leffler's joyful paintings show them engaged in their favorite activities. Jack can't think of what he's good at, but the book's ending provides a believable solution. Children will find piquant details in the pictures.
