Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Winner!

★ “[An] unpanelled graphic story. . . Pairing animated, thoughtful illustrations and simple text with a story focused on determination, this book is a perfect pick for new readers, both nervous and brave.”
—School Library Journal

★ “This title will be cherished by librarians, educators, and caregivers for its simple yet direct message but also by young readers, who will see themselves reflected in the main character. When it comes to excellent books, Emberley does it! Joyfully encouraging—just what uncertain little ones need as they make their first forays into independence.”
Kirkus Reviews
