This charming picture book follows Bagel, the nervous newcomer at the Corner Cafe, where an assortment of colorful treats has him questioning what makes him special. Birthday Cake has sprinkles, Cinnamon Bun boasts a swirl, and other pastries come adorned with chips, jelly, and eye-catching colors. Bagel, meanwhile, sees himself as plain and, more troublingly, empty in the middle. Convinced that finding his center will finally make him complete, he sets off on an exuberant search with his new friends.
Will he find something to fill in his silly see-through tummy, or discover he was WHOLE all along? Playful, lyrical storytelling makes this a delightful read-aloud while the charming full-spread illustrations invite children to linger over every delicious page. Bagel Finds His Center is an uplifting and timeless story that celebrates individuality, self-worth, and the beauty of embracing what makes each person unique. A wonderful resource for families and educators of young children. The double-sided dust jacket unfolds into a pun-filled poster for extra fun!
