Midge doesn’t want to go to a new school. He wants everything to go back to the way it was – with his old school, his old friends and his parents back together. Mo is Midge’s buddy at his new school. She’s super smiley and can’t wait to be his friend, but the more Mo tries to make friends the more Midge retreats. It’s like there’s an invisible raincloud hanging above his head – drip-drip-drip.

Then Mo remembers how she felt when she was new and it makes her even more determined to help Midge feel happy and to show him that the sun will come out for him again soon.

A poignant and heart-warming story about new beginnings.

"This simple story is accessible to newly independent readers."

BookTrust

"This could be a reassuring story for anxious children particularly those new to a school or whose family has been disrupted. The pastel illustrations provide a friendly accompaniment to a story about deep feelings and empathy."

The English Association

"A gentle and thoughtful tale... about friendship, empathy and change ... an ideal book to start a discussion between young ones about those big big feelings that they might be unsure or uncertain about"
