The Recess Queen
Books
Author: Alexis O’Neill
Illustrator: Laura Huliska-Beith
Each day at recess, Mean Jean runs through the playground before her classmates so that she can kick, swing, and bounce before anyone else. No one says a word to her. But when tiny Katie Sue, a new student, arrives, things change. The new girl enthusiastically kicks, swings, and bounces before the Recess Queen gets the chance. Mean Jean is furious until Katie Sue invites her to play together.
