When authors Nancy Hallowell and Afsoon Kelly set out to write their first children's book, they wanted to "inspire young readers to identify and value their own unique gift(s)."

In 2014, the United Nations declared July 15 World Youth Skills Day, to celebrate "the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship." Today is the perfect day to read Mischievous Molly Discovers Her Gift with the kids in your life and have a conversation. The authors love to hear about everyone's special skill, SHARE yours!

About the book: Molly never eats her vegetables, is very messy, and does her best to miss the school bus. On top of that, she is struggling to find a talent to share with her class. But with the help of her lovable dog, Mojo, she discovers a special gift that brings comfort and joy to others. Every child has a special talent to offer, even the most mischievous.
