Description



Book Synopsis



Wally is starting a new school-will he be able to make friends?

When Wally's new classmates aren't so nice, he decides that maybe he doesn't want to fit in with them after all. One day after school, he meets the Tailor, a magical figure who creates tails for all the animals. As Wally tries on different tails, he also meets a snake who shows Wally a new perspective on friendship.

Despite the reality of how hard it can be to make new friends in a new place, this whimsical, clever story shows us that everyone has something to offer-and that often, empathy is the best cure for unkindness.
