"Twig" is a story about fitting in and finding your place at a new school.

Heidi is a stick insect and she has a problem! No one sees her, maybe because she is tall and thin!

Title: Twig

Author / Illustration: Aura Parker

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

Heidi is starting her first day at a new bug school and she is nervous about making new friends. She is pretty much alone in her world, never recognized and acknowledged. This story beautifully captures Heidi's feelings of isolation. She often takes deep breaths and repeats "One, two, three. One, two, three. Why won't someone play with me?"

Do other bugs at school ever find Heidi out? Does Heidi make friends at her new bug school?
