Effie's Image is an uplifting picture book that recounts the story of one woman's search for self-worth and her discovery that what she sees in the mirror each day is a different image from what the rest of the world sees when they look at her through the eyes of love. 
When Amanda's elderly neighbor decides she is too old to be of use anymore, Amanda makes it her job to help Effie find her place again in the world. After a couple of failures, they find that place at school, where Effie becomes indispensable as a classroom volunteer.
It makes the perfect gift for any volunteer who changes lives through the gift of their time and talents.
