Meet Lauren McGill. She's unlike any girl her age—a master at hopscotch, a pro at double Dutch jump rope, and counting the minutes until her next sleepover.

  But there's one thing that makes Lauren special: She is absolutely crazy about pickles. Dill. Kosher. Gherkins. All kinds of pickles. Pickles are her very own.

 Then, after a class trip

to the pickle factory, Lauren's entire class—even the boys—starts to share her love for pickles. Lauren is lost and forlorn—she doesn't feel special anymore. That is, until she learns how to share.

  Jerdine Nolen's exuberant story of serendipity and discovery, combined with Debbie Tilley's charming artwork, creates an inspired book about the joy of giving.
