When Lola learns that she will be attending a new school for the remainder of second grade, she feels reluctant to leave her old one. The good news is that Abuelita, knowing that change makes her granddaughter anxious, is coming from Guatemala (where Lola's parents grew up) to Texas for a visit. Abuelita's support and encouraging words help Lola face challenges such as her first school bus ride, and she soon makes a few friends. Asked to introduce herself to her new classmates, Lola freezes up, but her teacher kindly suggests that they wait a few days. Guided by Abuelita's advice, Lola becomes increasingly self-confident, navigating the transition with ease and soon feeling comfortable in her new school. The book's layout, which includes one colorful digital illustration on most double-page spreads, is well designed for children who can easily handle beginning-reader books but find longer chapter books intimidating. Lola narrates the story, which clearly shows her satisfaction in solving common childhood problems with a little help from Abuelita. An endearing narrative portraying a Guatemalan American family.
