Cat ears on your headband is not the only way to look great.
But it is a very good way.
Mallory has glitter folders and bright orange sneakers and a huge pink eraser. And Mallory has cat ears on her headband.
Then Anna comes to school with cat ears on her headband, too. Everybody loves how they look in those cat-ear headbands. Especially Elizabeth. Elizabeth doesn’t have cat ears on her anything.
She doesn’t even have any headband at all anymore. (They squish her head too much.) Elizabeth needs a cat-ears headband! It’s an emergency!
Maybe a surprise " I Love You" present from her grandparents will fix everything. Or maybe Elizabeth doesn’t need to be fixed at all.

When her group of friends all come to school sporting cool cat-ears headbands, Elizabeth knows she must have one too. It’s a cat-ears headband emergency! Unfortunately, no one else seems to think so, especially her parents and her brother Justin. Elizabeth tries crafting her own pair from a headband she already has, but it just ends up a disaster of glue and glitter. Then, her grandparents come over with a “just because” gift...a cat-ears headband! Or is it? It looks more like cow ears, but Elizabeth doesn’t mind. She looks just great! This simple chapter book will help bridge burgeoning readers to more advanced sentences while also instilling concepts of individuality and embracing one’s differences.
