Over the past ten years, Susie Scholz has written twenty-five stories featuring a freckle-faced, redhead kid named Freddie. Each of her stories addresses a specific life lesson in an entertaining, non-threatening manner that both children and adults can enjoy.   

In this particular story, Freddie is the new kid in town and is very nervous about his first day at his new elementary school. He is self-conscious about the color of his hair and the size of his feet and is afraid of being made fun of by all the other children. But, throughout the day, things begin to turn around for Freddie and he realizes things may not be so bad, after all!
