This new title in the Big Bright Feelings series by Tom Percival is about a girl who loves making things, but finds it hard to make friends.

Meesha loves making things . . . but there's one thing she finds difficult to make--friends. She doesn't know quite what to do, what to say, or when to say it, and she struggles reading and responding to social cues. But one day, she discovers that she has a special talent that will help her navigate challenging social situations and make friends.
A warm and affectionate look at the joys and difficulties of making and keeping friends, relating to others, and finding your place in the world, Meesha Makes Friends is an empowering and resonant new title from the author of Ruby Finds a Worry and Ravi's Roar.
