Teeniest body, biggest heart! Actress Beanie Feldstein shares a brand-new friendship story that celebrates loving each other just as we are.

Teeny is starting at a new school, and boy, is she nervous. At her last school, the kids weren’t so nice to her—they called her names and made fun of her for being short. And she just knows that, as always, she’ll be the teensiest kid in her class here too.

So when she meets Tilly, the tallest kid she’s ever seen, the knots in her stomach only grow. Will this new classmate make her feel too tiny all over again? With lots of courage and some help from the class pet, Poppy, Teeny finds out that a little bit of kindness is all she needs to find a new best friend.

From actress Beanie Feldstein comes a sweet and heartfelt new story about two best friends who treasure each other just as they are.
