Excerpt
All was going well in the little town until one day when the Mayor called a town meeting and told everyone that an award would be given to the most important citizen. The Mayor said that the most important citizen would receive a gold medallion.
Each person told the Mayor why they were the most important.
The Mayor looked at everyone and said, "But I thought everyone knew that the most important citizen is the Mayor. I do all the important work in the town."
Everyone shouted at the Mayor. "No you don't. Humpf!" And with that everyone turned their backs on the Mayor.
Well, WHAT a MESS this was!

This is a very sweet children's book that shows how everyone can work together and share to help a community. At one point the Mayor tells the community that an award will go to an important citizen.The Mayor feels he is most important! Others also feel they are the most important and this causes chaos and the townspeople stop sharing with one another. A meeting is held between all the people to share a medallion that was was to be given out. By sharing the medallion all the towns people felt they were equally as special. The book shows different occupations and uniforms and helps children see these are just like people in their own community. It is a nice tale about people working together, and when they do, all people benefit.
