About This Book
This charming, highly illustrated chapter book follows Eva the owl as she navigates the common childhood challenge of a new friend joining an established best-friend duo. Eva initially feels excited about Hailey, the new owl in class, but her excitement quickly turns to jealousy when Hailey and Eva's best friend, Lucy, hit it off. The story gently explores Eva's feelings of being left out and her fear of losing Lucy, ultimately guiding readers through how to manage these emotions and the idea that friendship can expand to include more people. It's a perfect read for children aged 4-11, particularly those experiencing similar social dynamics.
This full-colour, highly illustrated diary series is perfect for young readers who love friendship stories starring animal characters. A new owl named Hailey has started in Eva's class at school. Eva is always happy to meet new people, and she's excited to make a new friend! But the new owl befriends Lucy instead of her. So Eva gets jealous. Lucy is Eva's best friend! Will Eva lose her best friend? Or can Eva and Lucy both make a new friend instead?
