Reach for this book when your child is navigating the complicated 'three-friend' dynamic or feeling anxious about keeping their unique identity alive in a structured school setting. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels a pang of jealousy when a best friend plays with someone new, or for the student who struggles with the transition from the freedom of summer to the rules of the classroom. Nellie Sue is a spirited girl who views the world through her cowgirl lens, but her first day of school is a 'stampede' of challenges: she cannot wear her hat, she is seated away from her friends, and her best friend Anna seems to be hitting it off with the new girl, Maya. The story follows Nellie Sue as she learns to expand her circle without losing her signature grit. It is a gentle, relatable exploration of social anxiety and friendship loyalty for children ages 4 to 8, offering a roadmap for how to be inclusive while staying true to yourself.
