The first installment in a hilarious and charming chapter book series featuring exuberant and irresistible third-grader Millie Magnus.
Millie Magnus has huge love for many things—her mom, her friends, her baby chicken, Extra Spicy, and even her hot pink rain boots. She loves school, too, and can’t wait for Field Day, when her mom—the mayor of Washington, D.C.—will be her partner in the three-legged race.
Millie Magnus DOESN'T love it when Buckley, a boy from school, makes fun of her curly hair, or her name, or her friends. And she can’t believe it when Buckley is assigned to compete against Millie and her mother at Field Day! But then things get even worse. When Millie’s plan to talk to Buckley about his bullying is ruined, SHE ends up in the principal’s office.
But Millie’s can-do spirit is hard to keep down and her big feelings come in handy when she learns something new about Buckley. She may even find a way to call him a friend.
Brittany Mazique discovered from an early age that most of the characters in her favorite books did not share her skin color. So she just reimagined them that way instead. She is the author of The Little Mermaid: Adventures on Land and Delphine Denise and the Mardi Gras Prize. Follow her on Instagram @brittanymazique.
Ebony Glenn is the illustrator of a number of books for children, including Sir Morien: A Legend of a Knight of the Round Table; Mommy Time; Twelve Dinging Doorbells; Flying High: The Story of Simone Biles; and others. Visit her online at EbonyGlenn.com and follow her on Instagram @artsyebby.
