Penny Draws A Best Friend

Why does the cubby room always smell like farts? Who etched the words "I Am Bug Man" inside my desk? Why is Mom suddenly acting like she has a secret? Nobody said starting fifth grade would be easy, and Penny Lowry's anxiety means a million questions are always spinning through her thoughts. Luckily she's got a lot to look forward to, like her favorite after-school activity, Art Club, and seeing her best friend Violet again after spending the whole summer apart.

The thing is, Violet has been acting weird ever since she got back. She never wants to hang out anymore, says Art Club is for babies, and spends all her time with Riley, the meanest girl in school. Did Penny do something wrong? And if she did, can she undo it? In this hilariously sweet introduction to a lovable kid still figuring out how to manage her anxiety, bestselling author Sara Shepard gets to the heart of how to let go of the friends who aren’t right for you... and how to make room for the ones who are.

Description

"Intrusive, spiraling thoughts continue to interrupt [Penny's] life; between Violet’s distance, her parents’ big secret, and her little brother’s croup that requires frequent ER visits, she has plenty of real reasons to worry. Thankfully, Penny’s visits to Mrs. Hines, the Feelings Teacher, give her a safe place to talk about what is going on in her head, and familiar faces open the door to new, unexpected friendships whose value becomes clear when something bad really does happen. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white sketches that highlight some of the more comical moments in the story, the book features just the right amount of humor to balance out more serious explorations of changing friendships and the ways uncertainty and lack of control can contribute to an increase in feelings of panic for young anxiety sufferers." — Kirkus Reviews
