Overview

Lila Greer is full of worries. Even the smallest things--from cabbages to cardboard--fill her with dread and What Ifs. So when her family makes a big change--moving to a new town--the worry and What Ifs only grow. What if things go wrong? What if no one likes her? At first, Lila feels right to be worried. In her new home, everything is strange. The new kids, the new smells. Lila feels alone and invisible. But there's one person who sees her: Lila's teacher, Ms. Kern. Through some creativity, blackboard erasers, and--most of all--kindness, Ms. Kern finds a way to make Lila feel welcome and open to new experiences, a lesson that will resonate with Lila long after second grade.

Author Information

Andrea Beaty was raised in southern Illinois in a town so small that she knew everybody and their pets. She grew up loving Nancy Drew and then eventually progressed to Agatha Christie books and the classics. Her secret ambition is to star in a Broadway musical, and she is often tempted to break into song and dance at very odd moments. Mia Hutchinson-Shaw is a queer actor and voice artist based in NYC. She came to narration with a background in classical and period-drama theater and trained in the UK at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. When not performing, she is thrifting for her next outrageous, colorful clothing item, getting on her soapbox about low-waste living, or hunting handmade jewelers for a new item for her collection of giant earrings. David Roberts, a former milliner, has illustrated many children's books, including Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer. He lives in London.
