The Kids in Mrs. Z's Class: Fia Hosein Finds Her Beat

Praise for The Kids in Mrs. Z’s Class Series”[A] wholesome read…buoyant.“–Publishers Weekly“Believable characters experiencing age-appropriate challenges: making new friends, navigating social groups, overcoming shyness, and dealing with embarrassment…. Share with fans of Annie Barrows’ Ivy and Bean books or Sara Pennypacker’s Clementine series.”–Booklist“Buy the book and the series. Kids need access to this diverse classroom of students who face everyday crises with their supportive friends, and this gentle read shows the goodness in the world without being overly sappy.”–SLJ“Through Fia, readers can explore the link between language, accent and identity, and what it’s like to move to a new country where there are ‘new words for the same old things.’ Perhaps it will encourage readers to appreciate the music of all voices.”–School Library Journal“Uplifting and encouraging.”–Kirkus Reviews
