Gugu gets a star

Gugu is nervous about her first day at a new school. But a kind gesture, a shared lunch and a rescued bird help her classmates see what a great friend she can be. Join in Gugu’s journey, as she goes from feeling anxious to showing kindness and being welcomed. This sweet story about a kind little zebra teaches children that every emotion is valid, and that we can show empathy and respect in all situations.

Also available in Afrikaans as Katryn kry ‘n Ster.
