Jenny is a gentle bundle of contradictions. She wants to be left alone, but she cries when her mom goes away. She wants to wear her old T-shirt instead of her new dress, and that€s that. If you catch her smiling, she€ll go back to grumbling. Jenny wants things her way, but she€s not always sure what her way is. It might seem like she€s being difficult, but she can€t help it€"it€s just how she feels. This delightful small-format picture book is a portrait of a character who, despite her grumbling and frustrations, just wants to be loved. Against simple backgrounds and understated digital and chalk pastel illustrations, Jenny€s boldly expressive face is the focal point. The book conveys a quiet balance of humor and strife, perfectly portraying a prickly kid who feels anxious, stubborn and unheard . . . even though she€s not exactly sure what she has to say.
