From Jill Twiss and EG Keller, the author and illustrator team behind the #1 New York Times bestselling picture book John Oliver Presents A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo, comes The Someone New, a fresh and timely story about how it feels when someone new comes knocking at your door. Jitterbug the chipmunk likes it when things stay the same. So when one day Pudding the snail comes into her woods, Jitterbug worries that everything will be different. What if Pudding spoils everything? What if there’s no more room for Jitterbug? With the help of her friends, can Jitterbug welcome the newcomer and learn that kindness is stronger than fear?
It's a sweet little story with sweet little illustrations. I'll admit that I thought the story was kind of boring, so I don't think it's one we'd read over and over again, but my pre-schooler did really enjoy it once. The illustrations were the highlight for sure--I'd love to see more from this artist!
