The One Who Sat Alone
A story about the new kid, the empty seat, and who we get to become.
For the child at the edge of the playground, and for the one who gets to decide what happens next. Juniper moves to a town where everything already has its place — until one ordinary boy is brave enough to cross the yard and sit down beside her. A story about belonging, empathy, and the quiet power every child has to end someone else's loneliness — then pass it on.
