Fifty Things That
Make You Special
This is Jacob. He is six. His favorite color is red. Jacob
just moved to his new house. He had to leave all his friends behind. Every day
his old friend Avery would tell him one good thing that made Jacob special.
Without Avery telling him so he didn't feel special. His family saw how sad he
was and decided to make him feel better. Dad bought some colorful cardboard
from the store. Mom collected some magazines. Jacobs’s sister Margret got some crayons
and together they cut and pasted and wrote fifty good things that they liked
about Jacob. And the next day when Jacob got home his mom, dad, and Sister
Margret gave his new book, it was called Fifty
Things That Make You Special. Jacob loved the book. It made him feel
special. Jacob still missed Avery but now he would never feel sad again.
