From three-time NYT Best Illustrated creator of On a Magical
Do-Nothing Day comes a stunning picture book about a little girl,
the scab on her knee, and the healing they do together. In this
utterly enchanting and unexpected tale from international picture
book star Beatrice Alemagna, a childhood mishap is the occasion for
growth and self-reflection. When a little girl falls on the street,
scraping her knee, her father tells her not to worry, that "a
beautiful scab will form." But she does worry! The scab is not
beautiful and it's keeping her from bending her knee! When will it
ever go away? By the time the scab—who she has named
Pepper—falls off, something astonishing has happened: the girl
has come to feel affection for the scab and has a hard time letting
go. With an unerring understanding of a child’s emotional life
and a dash of absurdist wit, this picture book will stand with
classics from creators like Tomi Ungerer and William Steig, who
explore the weird, funny essence of childhood.
