My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Sweet read for kids about overcoming anxiety and making new friends.
Four Point One Stars
Little Aubrey navigates two major milestones on the same day, it is her first day of school and her very first walk home alone. Luckily, she’s not alone and her magical companions, Dottie the Ladybug and Emerald the Butterfly are with her. They guide her every step of the way.
The journey home turns into a lesson in kindness as Aubrey stops to help her friend, Shimmer the Squirrel. She is even able to help a young boy named Noah make new friends.
With its neat illustrations and gentle approach to overcoming back-to-school jitters, and showing empathy for others, this is a good book to be read to young kids to find their courage.
Thank you for the e-Arc Netgalley.
