Brianna Banana, Helper of the Day

? "Reminiscent of Junie B. Jones. Illustrations by Ogawa evoke Raina Telgemeier vibes and bring funny scenes of this charming read by Button to vivid life."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

?"Readers will root for Brianna, while perhaps understanding why she has so few friends. A flawed but sympathetic character worthy of readers' love."--Kirkus, starred review

I'm Brianna Ross. And what I love is:

Kicking leaves. Digging soft sand. Helping others.

What I don't love is:

Having zero friends in my class. Getting in trouble every single day. Being called Brianna Banana.

Nine-year-old Brianna struggles to fit in. She can be impulsive and distracted, and sometimes she loses her temper, but she's also thoughtful and brave and ready to be a friend. Brianna thinks that being chosen for classroom helper duty will make the other kids like her. When new girl Rumi is named Helper of the Day instead, Brianna is disappointed. But could a new friend be just around the corner?
