This zany, charming story shows that sometimes we get mad and helps teach the importance of a real apology!

“Look at that slimy body. 
That silly shell.
Those tentacle eyes!
I just can’t look at you anymore, snail.”
 
Ari is feeling angry. When she takes that anger out on an innocent snail, the snail demands an apology! Which Ari gives, half-heartedly. And that’s that. Until Ms. Snail and her friends appear in every corner of Ari’s life, determined to elicit the most genuine apology from an increasingly regretful girl.

Tracy Subisak is a little afraid of snails, with their slimy snail bodies, but has worked very hard to be friends with them. (Mostly unsuccessfully.) Tracy is the Taiwanese and Polish American author-illustrator of Jenny Mei Is Sad. She has also illustrated many books, including: This Book Is Not For You!, by Shannon Hale, and Amah Faraway by Margaret Chiu Greanais. Tracy lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, her dog Lala, and many, many plants. You can visit her online at tracysubisak.com and on Instagram at @tracysubisak.
