Selection Statement:

This book has been with me from my childhood, and has eased me through many a moment of self-doubt. It helps me to remember that to be effective in the world, it is not necessary to be the strongest, most clever, fastest, or best story teller. It is not necessary to be possessed of any special gift. To do good in the world, it is only necessary that we care deeply for the welfare of others, and to trust and nurture the individual strengths of the company we keep.
