The Someone New

One morning, Jitterbug woke up with a quiver in her tummy. She knew something was new, and she didn’t like change. Jitterbug loved everything in order and everything in its place. After meeting with all her friends in the forest, Jitterbug still couldn’t figure out what was different. Then, she noticed it: a shape that was very round, very soft, and, most of all, very new. Will Jitterbug be able to open her heart to Pudding the snail, or will she turn this new friend away?
