Eddie is a tiny green bug…
Why read it?
1 author picked The Tiny Hero of Ferny Creek Library as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Just like me, Eddie loves books. Unlike me, Eddie is a shiny, green bug. (Clearly, I need to get over my bias against books including talking creatures!) Linda Bailey told this story so vividly that I soon became Eddie, painstakingly making my way across the ginormous landscape inside the school. How on earth could a tiny bug save his aunt, nevermind an entire school library? You’ll have to read the book to find out, but I can tell you that readers finish this story feeling like we can do anything we set our minds to!
From Michelle's list on kids’ stories about speaking up.
