Jelly Bean

Suzannah's family lives in an apartment that bans pets, so she spends her free time at a neighborhood animal shelter, where she cuddles and plays with the dogs and cats waiting for new families. Her world changes when a girl whose family is moving brings in a guinea pig named Jelly Bean. Suzannah makes a solemn vow to find him a home that suits him.

In this early chapter book, a second grader discovers her own courage as she works alongside new friends to match shelter animals with people who will love them. The story is the first in a series.
