“Zoe’s the smartest,” said Vanessa, “I’m the best actress, and you, Winifred Fletcher . . .” she said, turning to Winnie. “You are the best—” Winnie waited to hear what Vanessa would say. It seemed as if Vanessa had to check every cupboard in her brain to find an answer.
How do you know if you’re really good at something and not just ordinary? Can you be the best at something if you really want to? With humor and insight, Jennifer Richard Jacobson captures the complex emotions of jealousy, competition, self-doubt, and, ultimately, self-acceptance.
First met in Winnie Dancing on Her Own (in PW's words, "This uplifting tale speaks to the emerging independence of all grade-schoolers"), the heroine stars in her third adventure, Winnie at Her Best by Jennifer Richard Jacobson, illus. by Alissa Imre Geis. Winnie's fourth-grade pals know where they excel, but what is Winnie's gift? Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Winnie at Her Best
Winnie is a 4th grader who lives with her father in an apartment building they share with one of her best friends. She is a well-liked girl who seems to have a very high level of self-confidence. However, when both of her best friends are singled out for special accolades (one wins the spelling bee, one is cast to be in the High School play), Winnie starts to feel down on herself. She wants to know what she is best at. Turns out, she excels at art and also comes to love the reading buddies program that her fellow fourth graders participate in. Her buddy is John Stuart...a young, very timid, kindergartener. Her two new loves come in to conflict, however, when the awards ceremony for the local art contest occurs at the same time as a family crisis for John Stuart. In the end, Winnie finds that what she is best at is doing what's right. A very refreshing early chapter book for young readers.
