About This Book

Told in 31 rhyming verses, this charming, illustrated story introduces Mary, a little girl who refuses to be anything less than herself. At her school, there are only two rules—do everything you are told and never stand on your head. Mary isn't about to be restrained by those restrictions. Darkly humorous illustrations add a sly, subversive element to this empowering tale of individuality. Mary has her own view of the world and refuses to fit in with everyone else.
