When a little girl falls on the street, scraping her knee, her father tells her not to worry, that \"a beautiful scab will form.\" But she does worry! The scab is not beautiful and it's keeping her from bending her knee! When will it ever go away? By the time the scab--who she has named Pepper--falls off, something astonishing has happened: the girl has come to feel affection for the scab and has a hard time letting go. With an unerring understanding of a child's emotional life and a dash of absurdist wit, this picture book will stand with classics from creators like Tomi Ungerer and William Steig, who explore the weird, funny essence of childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beatrice Alemagna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1662640501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662640506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hippo Park\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024 pg. 56","brand":"Beatrice Alemagna","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45476985078015,"sku":"9781662640506","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1aaeb843-2c59-4c1e-9e87-5c0933654a1d.jpg?v=1715918731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pepper-me-beatrice-alemagna-9781662640506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
