A fun, wholesome story featuring Mimi and her magical plushie, Penelope.
When everyone calls Mimi cute, she starts to worry that she’s just cute. She wants to be more than that. She tries on different personas, but nothing feels quite right. With the help of her friends, she learns that she is so much more than just cute. She’s smart, strong, helpful, cool, and cute just by being herself.
A wonderful story that focuses on being yourself, being there for others, standing up for yourself, and talking through big feelings.
The artwork is… for lack of a better word… cute! The illustrations are so adorable. I loved the character designs, cutesy elements, and anime-style emotions. Great for kids who enjoy dress up, plushies, and all things cute. This is a fantastic beginner graphic novel broken down into manageable chapters.
An adorable start to the series. Looking forward to reading book 2.
