About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses a fierce sense of personal style or when they are navigating the balance between staying 'perfect' and getting messy. It is a wonderful tool for children who use clothing as a form of self expression but might feel hesitant to join in on high energy, tactile activities like recess or art for fear of ruining their look. In this clever rhyme, Mary is a fashionista who brings glamour to her Mother Goose classmates, helping them feel confident in their new threads. However, when the school bell rings, Mary must learn that true style includes being ready for anything, even mud. It is a joyful, inclusive celebration of creativity, friendship, and the realization that you can be both fancy and a fan of the playground. This story is perfect for kids ages 3 to 7 who are discovering their own unique identities.
