"A satisfying picture book" - Booklist "Viewers who struggle to empathize well with their classmates or siblings will receive a specifically catered takeaway from this book. " - BCCB ReviewsPerfect for fans of Julian Is a Mermaid, this picture book is about a child named Ezra who does everything a little bit extra. But that doesn' t work out so well when a new girl comes to school and his efforts to make friends go over-the-top awry! Ezra always lets his light shine bright-extra bright. And he always makes an extra effort when it comes to the people he loves. So when Ezra meets Jane, the new girl at school, he' s ready to do whatever it takes-and more-to be her friend. He offers her a sparkly cupcake and colorful balloons, and he even writes a flashy song. But Jane doesn' t seem to notice. Ezra is confused-everyone usually loves his gifts! After his failed attempts, Ezra realizes he must ask himself what it truly means to be a good friend. This book will teach readers the importance of respecting boundaries and open communication in friendships, and it will inspire everyone to celebrate their differences!
