Everyone's Contributions Count

Book excerpt: When Amelia gets to working on a project, she has lots of great ideas. So many great ideas, in fact, that she doesn’t think she needs any help from anyone. She’s more than happy to go ahead and do it on her own. When Amelia’s antics result in cold shoulders and unfriendly stares from friends, she soon learns that solo acts on group projects may not be the way to go. Luckily, Amelia’s teacher is there to teach her some simple ways to recognize and value the contributions of others. Will Amelia be able to undo the hurt she’s caused, and realize the true benefits of working as a team? Find out in the latest storybook in award-winning author and school counselor Bryan Smith’s very popular Without Limits book series for children in grades K-5.
