#1 New York Times Bestseller
“Lilly is one of the great female characters in literature.” —USA Today
If you love life, you’ll love Lilly! A Spanish edition of Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse, by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Henkes. A classic, evergreen picture book about big personalities, big emotions, and forgiveness.
Lilly loves all sorts of things. She loves school, she loves dressing up, she even grows to love her stinky baby brother, Julius. In fact, Lilly loves everything! But when Lilly brings her purple plastic purse to school, she can't possibly wait until sharing time to show off the purse and her movie star sunglasses. When her teacher, Mr. Slinger, confiscates them, Lilly is not happy.
Lilly, the star of Chester's Way and Julius, the Baby of the World, finally has the spotlight—something she's wanted all along. Kids, parents, and teachers will all relate to Lilly’s powerful emotions and appreciate the sweet and satisfying resolution to her story. The carefully crafted text is perfect for reading aloud and story times, and the artwork, in Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse and across all of Kevin Henkes’s mouse books, is playful, funny, inviting, and timeless.
