Doing Something New by Mitali Perkins - A Review

This is a really soft, calming book. It’s less of a story and more of a gentle prayer for kids who are nervous about starting something new, a new school, a new place, a new routine. It doesn’t try to fix anything or rush past the fear. It just sits with it and says, you’re not alone.

There’s no big plot here, just reassurance and repetition, which honestly feels right for the audience. The illustrations are quiet and warm, and the whole book feels like something you’d read slowly, maybe more than once, especially during a tender season.

Not exciting, not flashy, just steady and comforting in a way that feels very intentional.

★★★★

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy. All thoughts are my own.
