The Girl Who Hated Books
25th Anniversary Edition
Meena resents that books consume her home. They’re on every surface; they fill up cupboards, closets, and sinks. In rebellion, Meena decides that she hates to read. But curiosity nestles inside of her nonetheless—as she discovers when she climbs and topples a stack of titles, spilling their characters out around her. Chaos ensues; nibbling rabbits and juggling elephants must be read back into their tales. The watercolor illustrations are a riot of activity in this delightful story about leaning into one’s imagination.
