Dress-Up Day: A Board Book (Board Book) (ISBN-13: 9781419744112)

After missing her class costume party, a girl decides she doesn't need an excuse to dress up in this charming board book, a relatable school story from author-illustrator Blanca Gez.

When a little girl is home sick for dress-up day at school, she decides there's no need to miss out entirely: She'll just wear her rabbit costume the next day!

But when the next day arrives and she's the only one in costume, it doesn't feel like such a great idea after all. Can a little bit of confidence and an unexpected new friend turn a self-conscious moment into a wonderful one?

Funny, endearing, and relatable to any kid who's ever felt insecure, Dress-Up Day is an ode to friendship, embracing individuality, and putting yourself out there no matter the occasion.

"There's an emotional change on almost every page of this picture book as Gez presents the possibility that moments of chagrin don't last forever, and that disasters can morph into delight." --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
