Publisher Synopsis

"Henkes gets it all just right....All of the bustling, inventive artwork is a pleasure to look at....The whole book, art and text, is lovingly layered to express the mixed emotions that all of us

Henkes once again demonstrates his direct line to the roller-coaster emotions of small children. With a slightly more complicated plot that those of Lilly's previous adventures, this one employs understated humor throughout. The illustrations do an exceptional job of amplifying the text: Lilly dances with excitement, flashes with anger, wanes in remorse, and leaps right off the page with joy. "--Kirkus."

Caldecott honoree Henkes ( Owen') understands Lilly's enthusiasm for her prize possessions, but astutely shows that Lilly goes too far when she acts up in class....The author/artist offers useful, timeless advice for apologizing to a friend and resolving a conflict. A sympathetic and wise treatment. "--Publishers Weekly. Read more...
