Hardback book published by Andersen Press 12th March 2026 ISBN 9781783449996
One morning when Mia wake, something about herself doesn’t feel right, something is different. Nobody else seems to notice or to care, until, quite suddenly somebody does.
MY REVIEW
This story started off with feeling sorry for Mia feeling different and without a friend and without another person in the world who noticed her or cared.
Until another child takes the time to talk to Mia. Then Mia has someone her own age to talk to with both of them sharing how each other feels. Many children will be able to relate to this story, with feeling different, sad, and lonely. I loved how the author portrayed little Mia in bright pink!
