Lila Greer is full of worries. Even the smallest thingsâfrom cabbages to cardboardâfill her with dread and What Ifs. So when her family makes a big changeâmoving to a new townâthe worry and What Ifs only grow. What if things go wrong? What if no one likes her? At first, Lila feels right to be worried. In her new home, everything is strange. The new kids, the new smells. Lila feels alone and invisible. But thereâs one person who sees her: Lilaâs teacher, Ms. Kern. Through some creativity, blackboard erasers, andâmost of allâkindness, Ms. Kern finds a way to make Lila feel welcome and open to new experiences, a lesson that will resonate with Lila long after second grade.
