This rhyming photo book is for children ages 6 - 10. However, there's no reason an adult can't enjoy it equally! Going to a new school usually is very uncomfortable for a child.  It seldom is a happy experience if the other students only ignore or just stare at a new student.  Jake is shy when he arrives at a new school with a frown, and soon he has tears running down his face.  He misses his old friends and teachers.  He is assigned to his class seat, while Amanda sitting next to him notices his discomfort.  She approaches the teacher and tells her about a great game she has invented.  The game of showing a face and telling a story by each student, and the goal of the game is all happy faces.  This is such a great way to help classmates enjoy each other and become comfortable in their new environment.  I'd love to see this become a video presentation at schools on opening day.  Great photos and narrative, and so very helpful and much needed for many children to help them with self confidence and acceptance.  Well done, Molly!
