A young girl feels out of place on her first day of school in a new country until she discovers that it only takes one friend to make her new surroundings feel like home. "The children in my class say my name, and it is like it doesn't fit in their mouths. It sounds like a question every time. A child, newly arrived from another country, feels lonely and a little scared on her first day of school. Her name is mispronounced. She knows she doesn't fit in. And when she eats her whole tomato for lunch, she can feel her classmates observing her--and not quite understanding her. But sometimes all it takes is one connection to bring two worlds together, and gradually the child, her tomato, and her full name start to feel at home. This emotionally sweeping debut book by Costantia Manoli, with vibrant art by Magdalena Mora, thoughtfully captures feelings of displacement and the joy that comes from forging new friendships." -- Book jacket
