This was ADORABLE. When I read books like these, they make me so happy that kids get these stories and get to see themselves. JoJo is a silly, seven-year old girl who is learning from the adults around her whether it be at home or at school. Throughout the book she learns about making friends and realizing who her true friends are. Any kid will be able to relate to JoJo's fears of not having a best friend and getting shots at the doctor. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
