Artist Hayley Wells's picture book debut is warmly illustrated in a limited colour palette, creating a cohesive story world ... While this story is a great one for sharing with children from the age of three, when the desire to choose your own outfit really begins to take hold, it could be perfect for those well into primary school, when individuality and identity begin to take on more significance.'\n-Michael Earp, Books + Publishing\n\n'Immensely charming ...
