A wonderful up-lifting, confidence-building children's story about learning, helping others, immigrants, communication, language, and acceptance.

Jenny, a fourth-grader, is given a school assignment to write another fourth-grader and pretend she is a mouse. Her letter recipient, Sameera, a newly arrived Saudi Arabia immigrant who is learning English, does not reply. A very upset Jenny tries harder and the two eventually help each other and become friends.
