Ohno and the New Kid: A Yonder Creek Adventure
There's someone new in Yonder Creek-and Ohno isn't quite sure what to think.
When a young skunk named Scout arrives in town, Ohno and his friends try to make him feel welcome. They wave. They invite him to play. They say hello. But Scout barely responds, keeps his distance, and even scurries away when everyone rushes over to greet him.
Ohno is certain he knows why.
Scout just doesn't like them.
But Ohno soon discovers that knowing what someone does isn't the same as knowing why they do it.
When Ohno finds Scout sitting quietly by the creek, he remembers what it feels like to be nervous and unsure. Instead of rushing in, he simply sits nearby. With a little patience and one honest conversation, Ohno learns the truth: Scout wanted to join them all along. He just didn't know how.
Before long, the friends discover that welcoming someone new sometimes means slowing down, listening, and giving them time to find their own way in.
Filled with friendship, gentle humor, and the lovable characters of Yonder Creek, Ohno and the New Kid helps young children understand an important lesson:
Different doesn't mean you don't belong. Sometimes you just need a little time to find your way in.
A warm picture-book adventure about empathy, making assumptions, being the new kid, understanding different perspectives, and discovering that friendship can begin with something as simple as sitting beside someone.
