Bookroo's summary

On her first day at a new school nobody will play with Lucy, so her teacher hands her some chalk and she starts drawing animals on the playground. Zack and Ibrahim, sitting at opposite ends of a bench, are watching. Across three linked short stories, the three newcomers get past their shyness and become best friends.

From the publisher

One of an innovative new series of linked stories designed to build reader confidence. Nobody wants to play with Lucy on her first day in school, so her teacher gives her some chalks and Lucy begins to draw animals on the playground. She doesn't notice Zack and Ibrahim sitting at opposite ends of a nearby bench, watching her. As the three stories progress, Lucy, Zack and Ibrahim overcome the awkwardness of being alone at a new school, and become the best of friends, drawing together. Walker Stories support beginner readers making the transition from picture books in an engaging, entertaining and accessible way. Each title features three highly-illustrated, individual short stories linked by one character, so readers can build familiarity and confidence.
