Meet Burgess Beaver-a cheerful community builder who loves the annual summer picnic and, most of all, a juicy wedge of watermelon. Thanks to his naturally prominent front teeth, Burgess can slice through fruit in a single, lightning-fast chomp. But when nearby animals marvel at his big choppers, Burgess feels a hot wave of embarrassment. Believing his teeth are far too big and awkward for a quiet beaver who just wants to blend in, he scurries away to hide in the weeping ferns.
Fortunately, his wise friend Maggie Moose is there to remind him that what makes us feel unique is often the exact gift we are meant to share. When a stubborn pine log jams the river and threatens to flood the lower berry patches, Burgess is called upon to save the day. Putting his self-doubt aside, he realizes his powerful teeth aren't awkward at all-they are magnificent tools built for the job.
Filled with lovable woodland characters and a heartwarming message about self-acceptance, Burgess on the Brink is a delightful story for young readers learning to embrace their unique strengths.
