Meet Addie-a shy little girl facing her scariest adventure yet: a brand-new school full of unfamiliar faces. With her pink bunny clutched tight and her heart full of worry, she wonders if anyone will even notice her... until a girl named Emma sits down with a simple greeting.

The book features charming rhyming text and heartwarming illustrations that help kids process emotions, build confidence, brainstorm solutions, and discover the magic of connection.
Because every child deserves to feel seen.
