Fourth-grade Pippa just wants to fit in at her new school. But the fact that her mom’s the President of the United States—who never seems to be around anymore—doesn’t make that easy.

Nor does the annoying classmate who won’t stop reminding everyone who her mom is. (As if anyone could ever forget! It’s not like anyone else is followed around by a Secret Service agent.)

But when her teacher assigns class speeches, Pippa’s best-laid plans at blending in begin to crumble. Then, an emergency trip takes her mom halfway around the world and Pippa becomes the topic of discussion at school, causing her to literally become sick to her stomach as her fears spiral.

Pippa must learn to calm her anxieties and embrace the power of speaking up—before she not only flops the assignment but also buries her true feelings from everyone closest to her, including the President herself.

Pippa Speaks Up! is the heartwarming and empowering first installment of the Pippa Potter, President's Daughter series, which weaves proven therapy techniques directly into the story as readers are transported to the fascinating world of life inside the White House.

Through Pippa's experiences, young readers will  learn to identify emotions they don't even realize they're having, better understand their anxiety as well as discover empowering, anxiety-management strategies and gain resilience in the face of adversity. Not only will they see that they aren’t alone in their struggles, but they’ll also learn tools to face their anxieties head-on and overcome them!
