Reach for this book when your child is starting to feel the heavy pressure of fitting in or seems anxious about being judged by their peers. It is a vibrant, slightly surreal story about Camilla Cream, a girl who hides her love for lima beans because she wants to be liked by everyone. This suppression of her true self manifests as a wild, physical transformation where her skin changes colors and patterns based on what people say or think about her. It is an excellent tool for discussing identity, the physical toll of anxiety, and the courage it takes to be oneself in a world of expectations. Most appropriate for children ages 4 to 9, it provides a safe, humorous way to look at the very real stress of peer pressure.
