Tricia Ann begs her grandmother to be allowed to go to Someplace Special all on her own, and reluctantly, her grandmother agrees, telling her to remember to be proud of who she is. Finally she reaches her destination: Someplace Special – the public library, where everyone is welcome. (McGraw-Hill CA Treasures, 2010)
