About This Book
A young girl nicknamed Dimple adjusts to formal schooling after being taught at home, confronting initial shyness and learning to recite and make school friends. Classroom incidents, including a startling electricity demonstration, become occasions for discovery and playful mishap. At home she shares close bonds with a child companion named Bubbles and with family visitors and events, and episodes such as getting a new doll, holiday celebrations, outings, and a pony broaden her experiences. The narrative stitches together everyday adventures and small troubles into a portrait of childhood growing toward confidence and social belonging.
