Bookroo's summary

Samira's vivid imagination turns her classmates into skeletons after a science lesson, causing her to avoid everyone, even her best friend, Frida. Struggling with her fear, she can't escape her own bones. With her mother's guidance, Samira must confront her imagination and find comfort in her own skin. Will she learn to embrace the skeleton within?

From the publisher

Samira likes school, especially when she gets to sit next to her best friend, Frida. But when they learn about the skeletal system in science class, Samira suddenly begins to imagine everyone in school as a walking skeleton. Soon she starts avoiding her fellow classmates, even Frida, but Samira still can’t escape her own skeleton. With some clever help from her mother, though, Samira realizes that maybe having a body full of bones isn’t necessarily a bad thing.Enhanced by delightfully impish illustrations, Camilla Kuhn’s playful book depicts the hilarious results of an imagination gone awry.
