They get into trouble every single day. Every day until Ginny Louise shows up. Ginny Louise dances to the beat of her own drum. She likes to learn, she is kind, and she tends to hear only what she wants to. So when the Truman Elementary Troublemakers put her in their sites, she has no choice but to make them her friends.

With endearing pictures and sweet text, the message of kindness and friendship stands out strong in this book. Sometimes kindness really does bowl people over. PRE-K, EL (K-3) -ADVISABLE.
