Starting school can be both exciting and scary, especially if you’re a little different.
But Scarlet’s new friends help her share—and celebrate—what makes her special!

* "A story of embracing difference in oneself and in others that's refreshingly even-tempered and light on its toes. Vernick's straightforward, economic prose and Jarvis's softly colored, deeply expressive line drawings portray the glow of unconditional love and the hurt of exclusion without being preachy about either."―Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This is a solid entry in the classic category of adjusting to fantastical differences; Vernick’s tone moves easily from playful to sympathetic…. Comfy illustrations feature figures with soft yet lively lines brushed speedily with digital paints in sunny hues."--The Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books

"[G]ood choice to share with young readers not yet ready for more nuanced portrayals of conflict around differences. [...] Recommended … specifically to preschool classrooms introducing the topic of embracing differences."—School Library Journal
