Can you imagine what it must feel like to be new in school and to want to make friends? Oy is a new 4th grader in her school. Her teacher calls her by her American name, Olivia, but Oy is really from Thailand. She is very proud of her heritage, although it makes her feel different. How can she find a way to make friends and fit in?
One day the other girls see the picture Oy carries of herself in her beautiful gold-threaded celebration dress. It is her most precious possession - but of course, all the other girls want to see it. Should Oy bring it to school and let them try it on?
How many times have you heard someone say "I'll be your best friend?" Will Liliandra, the most popular girl in class, really be her friend if she brings the dress to school?
This is a wonderful story of friendship and belonging. Check it out today!
