Introduction


 

Nine year old, Hada's bumpy adjustment to the new school year! Hada is just an ordinary kid. She likes to be at the center of attention, wants to stand out and be loved by her teacher, and at times, becomes jealous of her friends. The author of the story does not shy away from such desires and rather introduces them as a natural process. This book contains three episodes cheering for children in the new school year, where excitement and awkwardness are mixed.
