Sweety by Andrea Zuill

Sweety is an adorably illustrated story that sends an important message. Sweety, a little mole rat in a polka dot dress, is a bit out of the ordinary and doesn’t make friends easily. She gives her book report with an interpretive dance and likes to identify fungi. When Sweety’s Aunt Ruth visits, she consoles her and reminds her to stay true to herself and promises her she will find a special friend. This is a book that every child will find comforting and engaging, even if they don’t like mole rats.
