A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon

In order to ensure her popularity, Camilla Cream always does what is expected, until the day arrives when she no longer recognizes herself.

Liz says:

“This is a fun story with a great message. Camilla wants so much to fit in that she won’t even eat her favorite food, lima beans. As she tries to be like everyone else, she starts to take on the appearance of what’s around her – losing her own self image. In a magical way she learns to stay true to herself inside and out.”
