**A charming and funny story about navigating new places and
friendships. Perfect for fans of Uni the Unicorn and *Sparky.
Colette is exploring her new neighborhood and wants to make friends. But
when she encounters someone her age she's never met before, she doesn't
know what to say--so she hastily invents a lost pet! Things spiral a bit
out of control as a neighborhood-wide search party is assembled and
Colette makes her pet bird more amazing with each telling. Will the
neighborhood kids catch on to her ever-growing fib?
This charming story both clearly identifies the struggle of navigating a
different experience and demonstrates to kids a lovely and welcoming way
to treat someone new in their community.
