It's been a pleasure reading it with her each night, and she really likes the book. As a result of our doing this together, Naomi's reading skills and comprehension have improved. She enjoyed the book so much, she'd want to skip ahead in the story to find out what would happen next. When I asked Naomi what she thought about the book, she said that it was great. She likes the pictures and the humor in the book, and she felt like she could relate to the little girl in the story, because she has also felt scared and nervous and afraid to meet new people at school sometimes. Naomi also liked the fact that the little girl in the story is Haitian Creole, because Naomi is part Haitian. It's really nice for her to see a girl who looks like her in a book."</p><p>Michael Hildago</p><p><br></p><p>"As an elementary teacher, I am always looking for books on empathy and kindness to read with my students. This book on a child navigating her way through a new school and culture fit the bill perfectly. The pictures are beautiful and the story is engaging and thoughtful. A must have for every classroom library."</p><p>Aimee</p><p> </p><br>
