In this enchanting story, Mya rejoices in her own growing confidence and independence as she goes through her morning, showing her mom that she can do many things by herself. Without the help of a grown-up, Mya insists on getting out of bed, brushing her teeth, dressing herself, making breakfast, cleaning up her mess, boarding the school bus, and meeting new friends, all by herself. The results are often less than perfect, sometimes messy, but always fun.
