Synopsis

In celebration of Presidents Day, Madison creates a beautiful patriotic scrapbook that she is confident will win her the first prize and free pizza.

With gentle counseling from her parents and her stuffed animal Courage the Lion, she does the right thing and congratulates Jonathan for winning. The story highlights an important lesson: trying your best is what truly counts.

A child realizes that she is proud of her hard work on her patriotic project and should not be angry that she did not win. She knows that Jonathan worked hard too and she is able to congratulate him on winning. A moralistic story told in a rather gentle way. --Highlands Regional
