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.
Addyson Michaels is the most popular girl in school. She has a
head of perfect brown hair, crystal clear skin, and eyes the most
alluring shade of amber you've ever seen. No one sees those things,
though. Her celebrity status stems from the fact that she's sixteen
years old, five feet and six inches tall, and weighs 245 pounds.
Anyone looking for someone to tease, degrade, pull pranks on, or
humiliate to better their own reputation invariably finds their way
to Addy. Everyone knows her by name.
Braxton Carmen, Addy's lifelong best friend, just happens to be
one of the hottest guys in her school-a point that only serves to
make things worse. Brax is very protective of Addy and has very
easily adapted to the "big brother" role, though he's only about a
month older. Brax is at the center of every positive thing Addy has
to hold on to, and over the last few months she's begun to notice a
change in her feelings for him. Could it be love?
Motivated by her feelings for Braxton and appreciation for his
loyalty to her all these years, Addy begins to wonder if he would
enjoy the life he'd have if he weren't stuck protecting her from
the cruelty of their peers. Perhaps it's time to let him go-even if
he doesn't want to.
