Summary

In this informative graphic narrative for ages 8-12, bestselling middle grade cartoonist Charise Mericle Harper dives deep into that everyday source of stress and humor for kids--embarrassment. With science facts, jokes, and compassion (and some slapstick) this book lets kids know they aren't alone and puts them at ease, with practical information and fun facts that all add up to we've all been there, from spilling water on pants to walking around with toilet paper on our shoes, and accidentally calling a teacher mom.
