Bookroo's summary

Sukie feels lost in her new school until small acts of kindness spark her courage. As she learns to pass on friendliness, she discovers the joy of new friendships with Joe, Poppy, and Stan. Will Sukie embrace her new world and celebrate the differences that make them unique? Join her journey of bravery, thoughtfulness, and standing up for one another in this heartwarming tale.

From the publisher

Being kind is contagious as a new girl navigates the art of making friends in a picture book suited for children starting school or moving to a new place. When Sukie’s family moves and she has to start at a new school, she feels shy and lonely at first. But soon she learns that receiving small acts of kindness–someone saying hi, or saving a hoop for her–makes her feel braver, and that passing friendliness along is a good feeling, too. Before long, Sukie, Joe, Poppy, and Stan are all becoming friends! Young readers are invited to join them as they explore meeting new people, celebrating differences, being thoughtful, and standing up for one another.
