Just Right Jillian
Nicole D. Collier
Jillian wants to express herself more freely, but in fifth grade she is afraid to stand out from classmates who follow an unofficial uniform of muted clothes and matching hairstyles. Before her grandmother died, Jillian promised to build her confidence; her parents encourage her too. Her teacher suggests that she enter the schoolwide Mind Bender trivia contest. Jillian knows many answers but freezes when she must speak before an audience. As she prepares, her competitor Rashida becomes a friend, and another new friendship offers support when Jillian’s anxiety rises. Jillian works toward focusing and being herself.
