"Children often crave consistency, but this book reminds us that change isn’t always bad."--The New York Times
It’s a new school year, and something is different. The students’ beloved librarian, Ms. Stack, has retired. The new librarian, Ms. Bangle, is not the same! She has different ways of doing, well, everything! How will the students ever adjust?
Change isn’t easy, but it can be a positive experience. With a bit of patience, and a lot of heart, it can be positively brilliant.

What reviewers said
"Children often crave consistency, but this book reminds us that change isn’t always bad.
"This book...did make me laugh. And, I loved it. Hilarious asides including references to lithographic printing, hemming pants, rotator cuff surgery, lesson plans and lima beans. Who could ask for anything more?"
"In a sly picture book portrait of a schoolroom power struggle, Steele’s cartoony young figures have wide googly eyes, expressive mouths, and palpable-feeling energy that aligns with their determination."
"A story that celebrates librarians, reading, and how the right teacher can ease the fear of change."
"A charming portrayal of a whimsical trickster librarian who knows how to get kids reading."
"There’s a new school librarian in town... She looks fun; she looks energetic; she looks ready to read! The kids, however, are not convinced. They brush off all of Ms. Bangle’s attempts to engage them, but Ms. Bangle has a few tricks up her bright yellow sleeve. Sly humor, creative problem-solving, and a book series called Daisy (that really should exist) combine to help the children give Ms. Bangle a chance. An entertaining entry to add to “first day of school” collections."
