Publisher Description
Don’t get dirty. Don’t talk loudly. Don’t wear jeans like all the other kids. All her life, Tallulah has heard DON’T. She knows plenty about what she can’t do and what she shouldn’t do, and all about what kind of girl she isn’t. Now she needs to find out what kind of girl she is . In her picture book debut, New York Times bestselling author Tori Spelling teams up with illustrator Vanessa Brantley Newton to bring us the uplifting story of a spunky little girl who, with the help of some special friends, is able to discover her true self—and to let her spirit shine.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Tallulah is totally the poor little rich girl: she s always dressed like a fancy, gift-wrapped box, brings smoked salmon sushi rolls to school, and can t ever get dirty or talk loudly. You re not like all the other kids, says her skinny, jewel-dripping, expensively shoed mother, who, like Tallulah s father, is generally only seen from the waist up or is otherwise obscured in Newton s (Let Freedom Ring) illustrations, which have an overall jittery energy to them. So Tallulah feuds with her mother, writes New York Times tell-all bestsellers, has plastic surgery, gets her own reality show, and... wait, wrong story. In this story, Tallulah makes friend with a poor little rich boy, rescues a puppy that her classmates want to let drown (huh?), and finally persuades her parents that the real Tallulah likes to wear jeans and build clay mountains and rescue dogs, even if they re funny looking. Seldom has the disclaimer, any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental, seemed so dubious. Ages 4 8.
