Something Special
by David M McPhail
Description:
“Everyone in Sam’s family could do something special. Everyone but Sam.” His siblings all have their talents, his parents and grandmother are all good at something, even his dog can do a special trick! Sam tries and tries to follow in the footsteps of his siblings, but he can’t seem to be able to succeed at anything – he even sets his brother’s computer on fire! Sam feels like a failure, but he soon discovers that what makes him unique is being able to do something that no one else in his family can. Join Sam on his adventure to find what his “something special” is, all while learning a new language!
About The Author
David was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts and attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. While there, he began illustrating. His first book was The RUNJUMPBUMB Book by Robert Brooks published by Little Brown and Company, Boston. Later that same year (1971), the first of his own stories was published. It is titled In the Summer I Go Fishing published by Addison-Wesley Press. In 1972, The Bears Toothache was published by the Atlantic Monthly Press. Thus began a wonderful and all-too-brief association with Emilie McLeod, Editor Extraordinaire, who published some his favorite (of his own) stories, including Henry Bears Park and Pig Pig Grows Up. He has continued to write and illustrate and there are now well over 100 books with his name on them.
