When her own magical ballet costume is soiled as she struggles to help young Cousin Henry win a race, she notes everyone else getting awards. Fortunately, there is a “Top Helper Award.” The early chapter book evolves over five short chapters with big print and lots of picture support as well.  You can find out more about this book at the purchase link below.
