The One And Only Dylan St. Claire

"Edwards’ debut provides a genuine and uniquely fabulous role model for children of all gender identities who delight in the performing arts. . . . Young readers will be motivated to reevaluate their understanding of belonging, teamwork, and personal pride." —Booklist“The stars shine brightly for a boy who knows he is destined to twinkle and sparkle. . . . School-age dreams of acting can come true.” —Kirkus Reviews"In his picture book debut, actor, writer, and producer Edwards aims the spotlight on a confident young triple threat with a refreshing emotional range that defies gendered expectations. . . . A humorous book that will resonate with budding dramatists, and a good reminder for young readers: one doesn’t have to be a star to shine." —Publishers Weekly“In this debut, Edwards presents Dylan as a zippy, clever character who is endearing and has a flair for the dramatic. Ebbeler’s acrylic full spreads are bright and colorful, and include a diverse cast of characters. . . . A pleasant story for outgoing children and natural born scene-stealers." —School Library Journal
