An award-winning picture book about resilience, self-esteem, and
the power of talking about emotions Lili Macaroni loves drawing
butterflies, counting the stars, and being exactly who she is-Lili
Macaroni. That is, until she starts kindergarten. There her
classmates tell her that her hair is like a pumpkin, her eyes are
squinty blueberries, and her laugh is like a parrot's squawk. She
has never felt such unhappiness before. It makes her want to erase
herself and draw a brand-new Lili. Then she reconsiders. Does she
really want to erase her hair that's just like Mom's? Her eyes just
like Grandma's? Her Grandpa's infectious laugh? With her parents'
help, she creates a polka-dotted butterfly to wear at her collar,
publicly announcing her own resilience and symbolically letting her
sorrows be flown away. And when she explains the butterfly to her
classmates, Lili discovers she has begun a powerful conversation,
and that everyone has some trouble to be carried away on butterfly
wings. In this accessible exploration of emotions and self-esteem,
Nicole Testa and Annie Boulanger create a relatable heroine with
inborn ingenuity and warm family support.
