Journal: The Talented Clementine--by: Sara Pennypacker


I felt that The Talented Clementine sent out a really positive message. Every child is unique and has their own talents. It just takes time for some children to realize what they are really talented at. This book showed that even the children who seem to be the most untalented in the classroom can have talent if they just look deep within themselves. With Clementine's 3rd grade talent show on the way, she is nervous about not having a talent; however, her surprising hidden talent ends up saving the talent show in the end.


I love how Clementine is always herself and that her family is very supportive and caring. I feel that this kind of story will help children realize that it is always good to be yourself no matter what. It will also help children discover that everybody has a talent and that sometimes it just takes time to help children realize what that talent may be.
