Wally is starting a new school-will he be able to make friends?

When Wally’s new classmates aren’t so nice, he decides that maybe he doesn’t want to fit in with them after all. One day after school, he meets the Tailor, a magical figure who creates tails for all the animals. As Wally tries on different tails, he also meets a snake who shows Wally a new perspective on friendship.

Despite the reality of how hard it can be to make new friends in a new place, this whimsical, clever story shows us that everyone has something to offer-and that often, empathy is the best cure for unkindness.

Christine Kessides first imagined A Tail Tale when she was a student, but didn’t publish it until her first grandson arrived—who loves a good story and, coincidentally, looks like Wally.   Christine is also the author of Magda, Standing, an award-winning Young Adult historical novel.  She lives in Maryland with her husband and spends as much time as possible with her four children, two grandsons, and granddogs around the country.
