Bookroo's summary

Zahra loves helping Kyle, a creative and funny classmate, but when teasing from peers begins, she faces a tough choice. Will she stand by her friend or succumb to peer pressure?

From the publisher

Amazon Editors’ Picks: Best Books Ages 6-8 (2021) When Ms. Underwood asks if anyone wants to help Kyle, Zahra always volunteers. She loves spending time with Kyle–he’s creative and generous, and he makes the funniest jokes at lunch. But when Zahra’s other classmates start teasing her for helping him, she starts making choices she regrets. I Can Help is a gentle, sensitive portrayal of reaching out, facing peer pressure, and learning from past mistakes. With thoughtful storytelling and poignant illustrations, this book will open discussions about choosing kindness in the classroom and beyond. South Dakota Library Association Prairie Bud Award PreK-1st Nominee (2023-2024)
