The Imperfect Cookie

On the eve of her first day at a new school, Claire the cookie worries about fitting in, but she soon discovers that every cookie is different and that those differences are meant to be celebrated. Featuring characters with varied abilities, shapes, and sizes, The Imperfect Cookie offers young readers an affirming message: Being different is not only okay—it’s what makes the world beautifully imperfect.
