Drew’s Secret Talent

By (author): D. D. Sheppard

Illustrated by: Pheilm Martin

Talent can be discovered in the most unexpected of places! With a little inspiration and a magical cape, Drew learns to embrace his creativity with confidence and pride.

The school talent show is just around the corner, and every kid has signed up to perform—except Drew. Drew thinks he doesn’t have any talents worth sharing. He loves butterflies, his Grandma, and playing pretend—but those aren’t talents, right? Talents are juggling, singing, or magic tricks! He is discouraged until his Grandma brings him to meet a drag queen named Saturn, who gives Drew the confidence to fully embrace his true self and declare his talent proudly. With Saturn’s advice and magical cape, can Drew give an unforgettable performance at the school talent show?
