Toby looks for a gift for his dad and his uncle.  He chooses a pair of socks for each. Toby is sad when his dad opens the present and doesn't care.  His uncle, on the other hand, is excited to see Toby and says that the socks are just a wonderful bonus.  Toby loves to hang out with his uncle who helps him feel "just right".  What are the things his uncle does to help Toby feel that way?

Just Right is a heartwarming story that celebrates loving caregivers and the impact they have on children's lives.  Martinez uses cute colorful artwork to capture the concepts.
