Ed the dog is a beloved member of the Ellis family, but struggles to find what makes him special – all his human siblings have their own talents and accomplishments!  Can Ed discover what makes him excellent?

About Excellent Ed:

Everyone in the Ellis family is excellent—except Ed.

Ed wonders if this is why he isn’t allowed to eat at the table or sit on the couch with the other children. So he’s determined to find his own thing to be excellent at—only to be (inadvertently) outdone by a family member every time.

Now Ed is really nervous—what if he’s not excellent enough to belong in this family?

This funny and endearing story offers a subtle look at sibling rivalry and self esteem, and will reassure kids that everyone is excellent at something, and that your family loves you, just as you are.
