In the vibrant rainforest, Howard the gecko believes he's unmatched in camouflage. But when he discovers other creatures share his talent, his confidence crumbles. Is he just average? Join Howard on a humorous journey of self-discovery as he learns what truly makes him special. Will he find acceptance in his newfound ordinariness, or is there more to his story than meets the eye? Dive into this colorful tale to uncover the heartwarming truth.

From the publisher

Some of the world’s most amazing animals are camouflaged! Too bad Howard is too full of himself to notice. Howard thinks he’s the most exceptional creature in the entire rainforest. That’s because no other creature is as fantastically camouflaged as he is! But when Howard learns that other creatures can be camouflaged, too, he doesn’t feel so special anymore. In fact, he might just be…GASP…average! Who could ever love a completely unexceptional gecko like Howard? Dip into this vibrantly illustrated and funny tale to find out!
