Award-winning novelist Torrey Maldonado’s heartwarming picture book debut celebrates loving caregivers and highlights the powerful impact they can have on the life of a child.

Toby’s mom always says there are people that make you feel just right. And while his dad can be hard to please, it’s a different story with his amazing uncle. Uncle showers Toby with smiles, hugs, and kind words, and his garage is like a second home to Toby—there’s even a chair with Toby’s name on it next to Uncle’s desk! Yes, Toby can always count on Uncle to step up and make him feel just right.


Torrey Maldonado (TorreyMaldonado.com) is the author of many award-winning, popular middle grade novels, including Hands, What Lane?, and Tight. Just Right is his picture book debut. He is a teacher in Brooklyn, New York, where he was born and raised. His books reflect his students’ and his experiences.
