(4) K-3 Photographs by Shelley Rotner. "We're happy when we do something well, whatever that might be." Emphasizing that being good at something involves learning, time, and interest, this simple text offers a somewhat trite feel-good-about-yourself message. The many color photographs feature various children learning, playing, and working alone and together. Rotner includes a note to adults about different types of intelligence.
