About This Book
Karen can't wait to ride the school bus for the very first time, but when nerves get the best of her and she feels sick in front of everyone, she starts to avoid the bus and the teasing she faces. With kindness and support from the bus driver, Karen finds the courage to face her fears and enjoy the ride. A heartfelt story about overcoming anxiety and finding support in unexpected places.
