Meet Piper, a perfectly lovely gray hen who is convinced she needs a little more flair.
Flowers? Yes, please! Feathers? The more, the better! Ribbons, frills, and fancy things? Absolutely!
Piper sets off on a mission to create the most fabulous look she can imagine. Along the way, she gathers flowers, feathers, and colorful little treasures, adding more and more until she can hardly see over the top of her own fancy ensemble.
When Piper finally arrives to show her friend Priscilla her magnificent creation, things don't quite go as planned. One little mishap sends Piper-and all her pretty things-straight into a muddy puddle!
With her decorations washed away, Piper wonders if her friend will still want to play.
What happens next reminds Piper of something very important: she never needed all those fancy things to be special. She was already enough, exactly as she was.
Perfectly Piper is a sweet, silly story about friendship, self-confidence, and learning that you don't have to change who you are to be loved and appreciated. With colorful handmade characters, playful rhyme, and plenty of muddy fun, this charming story invites young readers to celebrate their own unique selves.
Because sometimes the very best thing you can be is simply-and perfectly-YOU.
