By Michelle Schaub, Carmen Saldaṅa (Illustrator)
A child must find a unique collection for show-and-tell. What will she share?
An imaginative child faces a dilemma: what to present at show-and-tell when she has no collection? As classmates prepare their treasures, she seeks inspiration from family, uncovering a surprising collection of her own—stories and poems. Will her creative discovery impress her peers?
Clever poems tell the story of one inquisitive child’s quest to start just the right collection to share at school. While everyone else is excited about presenting their treasures, one creative elementary schooler is stressed about her class’s show-and-tell assignment. How is she supposed to share her collection if she doesn’t collect anything? Polling her parents, gathering with Granny and Grandpa, and searching for the secret behind her siblings’ obsession with baseball cards, she discovers she does, in fact, have something to share: a collection of stories and poems!
