Publisher's Synopsis
Let's face it, in today's time, it's hard to wait for anything! Instant gratification is the name of the game. Everything we need, want, and learn is pretty much a push-button away. The restless and eager Emma is no different in this story. She is all about getting things done as simply and quickly as possible. Emma has a hard time waiting for anything and likes to get the job done. In this story, she is facing first grade in a new school with new teachers and friends. She suddenly realizes life can be scary sometimes, even for a first-grader. Emma soon learns, with the help of her trusted and wise friend, Mom (whom she calls Mia) that doing things differently is sometimes more satisfying, and a great way to invest in friendships. Have you ever acted before you thought or had a hard time waiting? If this has ever happened to you then maybe you can learn from Emma's story.
