Summary: This book tells the story of Meesha who loves making things. However, she finds it very difficult to make friends. She worries that she will never be able to make friends, because when she tries, she doesn’t know what to do and what to say. One day, her parents are taking her to a party, but Meesha doesn’t find a way to join in with the other children. Instead, she finds a quiet corner where she sits down and starts making things. She does not notice that a boy is observing her, and soon, they start making things together. Later, the other children also join in, and, suddenly, Meesha knows what to say and what to do when playing with other children.
