Being Five and Learning to Strive

By Paul Picerni

In Being Five And Learning To Strive our Birthday Girl, her friend Jill, and Pete, the boy from across the street are put through a difficult task. The Birthday Girl explains; "A giant fish was washed ashore. To save this fish will be a hard chore." The three children try to rescue the giant fish by trying to lift it back into the river. They get the fish onto a tarp and try carrying it to a small pier where they hope to release it, but it gets more difficult as heavy rains start up again. The Birthday Girl explains; "I think I now realize what it means to strive; and strive we must to keep this poor fish alive." Wonderful illustrations set the tone beginning with a fun-filled indoor birthday party, and continuing on through to a mud soaked adventure filled with lessons in determination.
