About This Book
Everyone in Ms. Rooney's room has chosen a special person to be kind to. All the kids are happy with their secret friends, except Emily Arrow. The last one to pick, Emily is stuck with Jill Simon, the class crybaby. At the same time, Emily's getting lots of super presents herself. When secrets are disclosed Emily learns what being a special friend really means.About the Authors or Illustrators
Patricia Reilly Giff began her life in Brooklyn, New York surrounded by books! As a child Giff would prefer to have her nose in a book imagining the life of each character rather than playing with the other children. Some of her favorite childhood reads included Little Women, The Secret Garden, and the Black Stallion books, the Sue Barton books, and the Nancy Drew series. So it's no surprise that she knew early on that she wanted to be a writer.
