Being kind is contagious as a new girl navigates the art of making
friends in a picture book suited for children starting school or moving
to a new place.
When Sukie's family moves and she has to start at a new school, she
feels shy and lonely at first. But soon she learns that receiving small
acts of kindness--someone saying hi, or saving a hoop for her--makes her
feel braver, and that passing friendliness along is a good feeling, too.
Before long, Sukie, Joe, Poppy, and Stan are all becoming friends! Young
readers are invited to join them as they explore meeting new people,
celebrating differences, being thoughtful, and standing up for one
another.
