Cheer along with Hannah Sparkles on her first day of school!

Hannah Sparkles and her best friend, Sunny Everbright, are ready for first grade. Their day starts as perfect as pom-poms...until Hannah and Sunny are seated far apart in the classroom. Even worse, Hannah is having trouble making new friends.

It's going to take some extra thinking for Hannah to learn that sometimes being a good listener is the best way to be a good friend.

Perfect for fans of Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious, Hannah Sparkles's second story is sure to bring sparkly smiles to new readers who are just starting school too.

"The illustrations are brightly colored and dynamic to match [and] the theme of friendship and first-day jitters will surely resonate with new students... suitable for reading aloud to young children or independent reading for early elementary students." --School Library Journal
