Over at the Castle by Boni Ashburn
Rhyming, counting, and an impatient baby dragon - charming! (And no one at the castle gets eaten: the dragons put on a fireworks show in the sky.)
The narrator, with brown skin and dark hair, has a "favoritest dress ever" that she wears on her favorite day of the week (Tuesday)...but one day, it's too small! She asks her mama to make something out of it, and voila...it becomes a ruffly shirt. The pattern continues, with the original dress being remade into a shirt, skirt, scarf, socks, hair bow, and finally a piece of art.
A sweet story that will resonate with anyone who's ever grown out of a favorite item of clothing. Julia Denos' artwork makes the story sing, with plenty of sewist touches - even some of the text looks stitched.
