    About this ebook

    Cleo is terrified! Ms. Emma told the class they would nominate a student for the District 6th Grade Math Competition. Well, the class voted and nominated Cleo!

    How could this have happened? Is this supposed to be a good thing? What will I do if Ms. Emma decides that I should do it? It’s just too much to even think about. What am I going to do?

    I used to be good at math, but now everyone will know that I’m not.

    With this worry, Cleo’s adventure of self-discovery begins as she makes decisions that might limit her options and may even change her relationships with her mom, grandfather, teacher, and even her best friend, Sol. Cleo sets out on an important developmental journey.

    Cleo learns “Who” we think we are determines “What” we do and “How” we do it. The people closest to her help her develop a growth mindset and learns to use that kind of thinking. With her new skill, Cleo practices being curious and asking questions before deciding to say “yes” or “no.”
    Cleo starts to think like a learner. She also learns to be true to herself as she confronts her biggest critic, Cleo! These newly developed skills help Cleo build strength and confidence to “Find Her Voice!”
