A story about embracing differences and finding friendship in unexpected places. For children ages 4 years and up, who might find that letting go and loosening up can lead to wonderful discoveries.

Ted loves order. He likes to arrange his things in neat, tidy rows. On the first day of school, he meets Jess. She loves chaos. She messes up all of his tidy rows. Ted can’t stand it! Surely, a neatnik like him can’t be friends with a messy girl like her. Or can he?
