Karl just wanted to make a friend on his first day at a new school. Then Diamond the cat called him a mop.

With help from Super Bailey, Karl discovers that someone else’s words don’t get to decide who he is. What will he say about himself when the teasing starts again? That’s the part you and your kiddo get to discover together.

It’s a fun, warm story with a surprising superpower, a tail that gets called a banana, and a question you might still be asking after the book closes: “What would Karl say?”
