The Wonderful Fluffy Little Squishy

Winner of the 2016 Mildred L. Batchelder Award Here Alemagna stakes herself on the idea that the adventures children make for themselves are by far the very best! Eddie is five and a half, and thinks she is the only one in her family who isn't really good at something. So when she hears her little sister say "birthday—Mommy—fluffy—little—squishy," it's extra important for her to find this amazing present before anyone else does. So, gregarious, charming, clever little Eddie goes all around the neighborhood to all her fabulous friends—the florist, the chic boutique owner, the antiques dealer, and even the intimidating butcher—to find one. It's a magical adventure that draws on Eddie's special gifts, ones that she herself learns to appreciate.
