Lily's Cat Mask

32 pp. | Viking | May, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-425-28799-6 $17.99
(3) K-3 Lily wears a cat-shaped mask in myriad social situations. It's a sort of safety blanket: the mask helps Lily hide when she's nervous or instantly gain attention when she wants to be seen. The perceptive story is furthered by watercolors showing the emotions behind Lily's attachment to the mask as well as the compassion of the adults (and other kids) who understand these feelings.
