A shy girl finds courage to join the celebrations in her own way on the one hundredth day of school.

Clementine is shy and doesn’t enjoy dress-up days—especially when her class is buzzing with excitement for the one hundredth day of school. Everyone is planning wigs and costumes, but Clementine just wants to feel like herself. With help from Mom and a jar of colorful pompoms, she comes up with a creative idea that’s both unique and true to who she is. Clementine's Own Way is a gentle, uplifting story about celebrating milestones, embracing individuality, and finding quiet confidence. Sweet, expressive, and colorful illustrations capture school-day fun and the warmth of small but meaningful moments.
