In a world of Naked Mole Rats there is Wilbur. A naked mole rat that likes to get dressed, the problem is that the rest of the Naked Mole rat population disagree with his preferences. (

Wilbur the mole rat asks why he can't wear clothes. He likes wearing clothes despite what the other mole rats say and starts a new trend within the mole rat world. Great book about being diffferent and expressing yourself. (

Personally, not my favorite example of Mo Willems' work, but it does contain the characteristic humor and a positive message. (
