Notes From Your Bookseller

Kaz Windness and Bitsy Bat are the perfect guides for anyone struggling to fit in or for those who think they're doing everything "wrong, wrong, wrong". Bitsy Bat, School Star is great for conquering fears and misperceptions, regardless of age. Perfect for fans of Strictly No Elephants.

This Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition features shiny purple and holographic foils on the cover. It also includes a bonus page of removable stars for kids to write on and share what makes them special—just like Bitsy and her friends do as a part of their “Shine and Share” in the story!

A little bat struggles to fit in only to learn to celebrate differences in this heartfelt picture book from an autistic perspective about starting school, making friends, and seeing what makes each person special.

Bitsy is a little bat with big star dreams of making friends at her new school. But when she arrives, Bitsy doesn’t feel like she fits in. The other kids sit on their chairs, but sitting upright makes Bitsy dizzy. The other kids paint with their fingers, but Bitsy would rather use her toes. Everyone tells Bitsy she’s doing things wrong-wrong-wrong, so she tries harder...and ends up having a five-star meltdown.

Now Bitsy feels like a very small star and doesn’t want to go back to school. But with help from her family, Bitsy musters her courage, comes up with a new plan, and discovers that being a good friend is just one of the ways she shines bright!
