2022 CBCA Shortlist. A gentle exploration of a child\'s realisation that it is her individual differences and creativity that make her special. A young child describes her qualms about going to school and how hard she finds asking the teacher for help, how she feels shy about making friends, not being funny or a fast runner. But through her love of art, a conversation with her mother and her observations about nature she comes to see that being different might not be a bad thing after all.
