INFORMATION

Each and every morning, before she even steps outside, the rumbling, bumbling school bus makes Mattie want to hide.

Poor Mattie Rattie is teased and tormented every morning when she sets foot onto the big yellow school bus. It's a terrible way to start each day, and Mattie wishes she could just disappear.

That is, until the morning that Mattie meets Sadie, the new girl in town, and the two quickly find out that they have more in common than meets the eye. See how this unexpected friendship blossoms, along with their self-confidence.

This fun, rhyming, and illustrated children's book, featuring quirky characters, is perfect for any child who has ever felt bullied, picked on, or left out by their peers. By demonstrating the value of true friendship, and how it can lead to overcoming fears and insecurities, it is a must-read for children of all ages.

In this book, you will learn:

  • The importance of being respectful to others.
  • The value of having a good friend.
  • How we are often more similar to others than we may think we are.
  • How our words and actions can affect others.
  • Acceptance of others who are different from us.
