About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing the universal dread of standing out for the wrong reasons, especially regarding clothing or gifts from well-meaning relatives. It is an ideal choice for addressing social anxiety and the fear of peer judgment with a heavy dose of silliness. Lacey is horrified when her grandmother gives her a shirt that says, Kiss Me, I am Perfect. Forced to wear it to school, she expects total humiliation. Instead, the shirt sparks a chaotic and hilarious chain reaction that flips her perspective on its head. Robert Munsch's signature slapstick humor helps children see that the things they worry about most often turn into the funniest stories. It's a reassuring, high-energy read that celebrates finding confidence in the most unexpected situations.
