Love this book of school friendship, school angst, and the everyday at school. Nikki Grimes has a way with penning reality and the illustrations are a great match.

5 stars for the expression on Danitra Brown's face on the cover. The watercolors in this book are wonderful, vibrant and capture the essence of actual kids. As a quiet person who always relished a good loud friend in school, this one struck home for me.

This is a great book for the beginning of the school year. Zuri is worried about the new year with a new teacher, but her friend Danitra is there for her. Danitra has a strong sense of self and doesn't seem to be a worrier so she balances out Zuri. They are a great example of friendship.
