I Had a Favorite Dress: A Picture Book
- I Had A Favorite Dress
Open up a fresh and stylish story about growing up and keeping hold of your favorite memories. As the year passes, the narratorâ€™s favorite dress goes through a series of creative changes, from dress to shirt to tank top to scarf and so on, until all thatâ€™s left of it is a good memory. Assisted by her patient and crafty mama, the narrator finds that when disaster strikes her favorite things, she doesnâ€™t need to make mountains out of molehillsâ€”she â€œmakes molehills out of mountainsâ€ instead! Structured around the days of the week, the story is also illustrated to show the passing of the seasons, a perfect complement to the themes of growing older and keeping hold (and letting go) of special mementos.

Praise for IÂ Had a Favorite Dress
"A spunky story about adjusting to change with creativity and style. Tailor-made, so to speak, for the Etsy generation of DIY enthusiasts.â€ â€“Publishers Weekly

â€œEveryone is smiling in the buoyant confections created by illustrator Julia Denosâ€”including, itâ€™s fair to say, young readers looking at them. Endearing picture book.â€ â€“Wall Street Journal

â€œWhat could have been yet another example of kindergarten consumerism instead becomes one of resourcefulness and resilience.â€ â€“New York Times
â€œDenosâ€™s multimedia illustrations reinforce the narratorâ€™s vibrant personality and the amazing transformations of the dress while capturing the action and emotion of the story. This book is sure to capture the imaginations of would-be seamstresses; children who canâ€™t bear to part with a favorite item; and those who want to reduce, reuse, recycle.â€ â€“School Library Journal

Â

â€œBreezy in style, they smartly stitch each scene of alteration as the not-so-little girl sashays through the days of the week and the seasons. A charming interpretation of an old story that will speak to young fashionistas.â€ â€“Kirkus Reviews
