Reach for this book when your child expresses the worry that they aren't 'special' or 'cool' enough to be noticed by peers. It is a perfect choice for children who feel invisible or are tempted to put on a persona to fit in. Through the humorous lens of two hamsters, the story explores the pressures of performance and the anxiety of waiting to be chosen. Harriet and her sister Patricia live at Hamster World, where they fear being overlooked during the big sale. To stand out, Harriet initiates an over-the-top 'glam' makeover that ultimately fails to achieve the desired result. The book gently guides children toward the realization that the right person will appreciate them exactly as they are, without the need for glitter or gimmicks. It is a lighthearted but emotionally resonant story for children ages 4 to 8.
