Finding confidence in a new school

Rosila’s move to a new country brings several kinds of difference into view at once: she is speaking English for the first time, bringing unfamiliar foods to school, and adjusting to classmates’ reactions to her clothing and vocabulary. The school setting gives the story a child’s-eye frame for questions of belonging and self-acceptance, with friendship and starting over at its heart. The description presents Rosila’s experience as an adventure in learning to value who she is, without hiding the details that make her stand out.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering stories about friendship and starting at a new school
  • Families seeking a picture-book-style story about moving to a new country and self-acceptance
  • Young readers interested in characters navigating language and cultural differences

Book overview

Who's that new kid in school?

 

Meet Rosila as she embarks on an adventure in an unfamiliar place - at a new school, with new classmates, in a new country, speaking English for the first time! She has no idea how the other students will react to her as she starts this new life in America as the new girl. From the very first day of school, Rosila learns how different she may be from her fellow classmates...

 

Rosila's first language is not English so her vocabulary stands out, she packs ethnic foods that some find unusual, wears a big puffy coat that appears bizarre, and more!

 

Join Rosila as she learns what it means to love oneself without regret.
