Lila Greer is full of worries. Even the smallest things—from cabbages to cardboard—fill her with dread and what-ifs. So when her family makes a big change—moving to a new town—the worry and what-ifs only grow. What if things go wrong? What if no one likes her?

At first, Lila feels right to be worried. In her new home, everything is strange. The new kids, the new smells. Lila feels alone and invisible. But there’s one person who sees her: Lila’s teacher, Ms. Kern. Through some creativity, blackboard erasers, and—most of all—kindness, Ms. Kern finds a way to make Lila feel welcome and open to new experiences. A lesson that will resonate with Lila long after second grade.

Scarlett ★★★★★

My own kid is a worrier too, so seeing Lila's nervousness about everything from moving to even cabbages really hit home for us. The story handles those big "what-if" fears in a gentle, relatable way that sparked a good conversation.

Violet B. ★★★★★

As a former teacher, I love how this story shows kids that even adults like Lila Greer can struggle with anxiety. The relatable examples like worrying about cabbages really help start conversations about big feelings.

Riley ★★★★★

My niece is a big worrier, so this book about Lila Greer and her fears of things like cabbages felt perfect for her. She actually asked to read it two nights in a row, which is a huge win. The way it handles moving to a new town is gentle and reassuring.
