![]() ![]() ![]() He bakes Andrew a welcome cookie, but it falls apart when he serves it and Andrew stalks off in anger. Over the summer, Donald gets a new baby sister, Polly, and a new neighbor his own age, Andrew. He continues giggling about Jabip for days after, and all her efforts to quiet him fail. One day, his teacher says “Jabip,” her word for something very far away, and Donald laughs so hard he falls off his chair. His mom gives him silver stars for good days he believes these stars fall from the sky and his mom picks them up for him. Although Donald can barely write his name, he loves school and considers every day an adventure. When a fourth grader bullies him for his hat, he offers it up cheerfully. On his first day of school, Donald gets into trouble-he wears a hat shaped like a giraffe’s head, and he’s so enthusiastic, his teacher struggles to control him. The kids challenge each other to races, stone-throwing contests, and farting competitions. Donald runs and jumps just for the joy of it. At first, the other kids don’t notice little Donald Zinkoff, except to see that he’s usually happy even when alone. ![]()
