The Best Story by Eileen Spinelli

The Best Story by Eileen Spinelli

The best story is one that comes from the heart.

The library is having a contest for the best story, and the quirky narrator of this book just has to win that rollercoaster ride with her favorite author! But what makes a story the best?

Her brother Tim says the best stories have lots of action. Her father thinks the best stories are the funniest. And Aunt Jane tells her that the best stories have to make people cry. A story that does all these things doesn't seem quite right, though, and the one thing the whole family can agree on is that the best story has to be your own.

Anne Wilsdorf's hilarious illustrations perfectly capture this colorful family and their outrageous stories in Eileen Spinelli's heartfelt tale about creativity and finding your own voice.

Eileen Spinelli is the author of A Big Boy Now, Hug a Bug, and the popular When Mother Comes Home Tonight, among other picture books and poetry collections. Her twenty-five grandchildren and husband, Jerry (also a writer), are her immediate audience when she writes a narrative. Eileen teaches creative writing and poetry in addition to writing stories. Media, Pennsylvania is where the Spinellis call home.
