The first-person narrator is so excited about dress-up day at school, but then they are sick that day! Mom has the good idea to wear the rabbit costume the next day, but...maybe that wasn't such a good idea? No one else is wearing a costume...except Hugo, who arrives dressed as a carrot! It's best-friendship at first sight, and the two inspire more creative outfits/costumes among their classmates the following day.

A tender look at a real-world problem and a clever solution. Inclusive, delightful. The art resembles Christian Robinson's (School's First Day of School, etc.).
Love the collagy illustration style. Story was cute but a little simplistic and over orchestrated.
