This is the story of Camilla Cream, a young girl who always worries about what others will think of her. She always wants to fit in, and even pretends to hate something she really likes in order to do so. Pretty soon, she no longer recognizes herself. This is a silly story with bright and engaging illustrations and an endearing message to readers to stay true to who they are.

Book description
K-Grade 2: Camilla Cream loves lima beans, but she never eats them. Why? Because the other kids in her school don't like them. And Camilla Cream is very, very worried about what other people think of her. In fact, she's so worried that she's about to break out in...a bad case of stripes!"Shannon's story is a good poke in the eye of conformity...and his empathetic, vivid artwork keeps perfect pace with the tale.
