About This Book
Reach for this book when your child's creative ambition has led to a giant mess and you need a way to laugh about it together rather than just feeling frustrated. It is the perfect remedy for 'marker on the walls' syndrome. Brigid is a girl who loves coloring so much that she eventually covers her entire body in super-permanent markers, leading to an absurd and hilarious domestic crisis. While it touches on themes of impulse control and personal responsibility, its primary goal is to validate the intense, sometimes messy drive to create. It offers a safe space to discuss consequences through the lens of Munsch's signature hyperbole. You will appreciate it for the way it transforms a stressful parenting moment into a shared joke, making it a staple for families with spirited little artists aged 3 to 7.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and hyperbolic. There are no heavy topics like death or trauma, though some parents might find the 'Doctor' character's solution (drawing over a child's skin) to be a bit strange if taken literally. The resolution is humorous and hopeful.
