New apartment, new neighborhood, new kids.
For Emma, everything is new, new, new—and not very welcoming. When Emma tries to join the kids in running through the sprinklers, no one lets her have a turn. And when she rides the elevator, a honeybee makes an attack on her! Emma has to admit it: She just isn’t welcome.
But a lot is in store for Emma when she receives a surprise invitation to tea and honey from an unlikely friend. Is it possible for one act of kindness to give a little girl the confidence to make herself welcome? In this uplifting story, we find out the answer.
