This empowering picture book about boundaries encourages kids to be independent in their work and proud of the result—even if it's not perfect!

Can Dylan create his own science fair project without accepting too much help from his enthusiastic parents?

The Adventures of Everyday Geniuses is meant to demonstrate various forms of learning, creativity, and intelligence. Each book introduces a realistic example of triumph over difficulty in a positive, humorous way that readers of all ages will enjoy!

The biggest day of the year at Morecaster School is filled with ideas, hard work, and pressure—it's time for the annual science fair! Like many kids, Dylan is caught between doing his project on his own, and accepting help from his enthusiastic parents. This year he's determined to do all the work himself, even if it means his project won't be perfect.

Just Do You and Keep Your Eye on the Prize is an honest and humorous look at encouraging children to be independent in their work and proud of their results.
