In this sweet, thoughtful story, a little boy feels unhappy when he compares himself to his classmates. But he comes to realize there's a lot more to a person than just what they're good at. Just like all the beautiful different pebbles he finds on the beach, each person is amazing in their own unique way. And that's a thing to celebrate. He shares his new knowledge by giving each of his classmates an award for being themselves. If you're ever feeling sad like I was, he says, just remember, you're the very best at being YOU. In doing this, he actually finds something he is very good at indeed - and that is being a very kind friend.
Growing up on the Wirral and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface. After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature and Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon.
