Can Abigail spell her way to the top?
Abigail is good at many things. She can dance the cha-cha, make up stories to tell her best friend, George, and strike a fabulous pose. But there is one thing she loves to do most of all: Abigail loves to s-p-e-l-l. When her school announces the annual spelling bee, Abigail spends her days practicing with the help of George, but things don’t go according to plan. Can George convince Abigail that winning isn’t everything?
Anna Alter’s gentle text, which contains fun words to spell throughout, and gorgeous illustrations make for a perfect match in this endearing story of friendship.
Anna Alter graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design. She has written and illustrated a number of children’s books, including What Can You Do with an Old Red Shoe? and Francine’s Day. She lives in Boston.
