A 転校生 as bright as the 太陽
This was as super cute, super relaxing little book about a pair of elementary schoolers: one a bullied girl, the other a transfer student. The transfer student is a little ball of happiness, one of those pure cinnamon rolls who misunderstands every situation in a positive light, and he latches on pretty quickly to our bullied girl, brightening her life. Each chapter is quite short, which can make the overall framing device feel like the author's falling into repetitiveness, but the story does move forward at a good pace, so just keep reading.
There's full furigana for everything, and the vocab doesn't really stray from school stuff. Each chapter is also, as mentioned, super short, making it easy for a beginner learner to chunk the book out and read it in smaller pieces.
