Meesha finds it hard to make friends because she struggles to read and respond to social cues. She uses her creativity and engineering skills to make friends she feels comfortable with, but they don't play back. It takes an overwhelming situation at a party for her to realise her special skills can help her make friends and feel more comfortable around others.

Tom Percival's picture books always hit the right note. Meesha Makes Friends fits right into his series of books about worries, self-esteem, emotions, and mental and emotional wellbeing. This book should be on every classroom shelf. I will be adding it to https://childrenslibrarylady.com/sweet-picture-books-positive-friendships/ when the book is released. Thanks to NetGalley for a preview copy.
