There is a lot to be straightened up in the normal lives of the six, who are completely unaware of the tangles that they are entangled in. However, the cluelessness soon fades when the six friends trip and fall into an episode that promises to unfold the true faces of many around them.

As a children's book author and illustrator, as well as a mother and grandmother, I understand that our "new normal" can be scary for little ones. Children are learning how to process and understand facial expressions and emotions, during a time when everyone is wearing a mask. Now the faces of their loved ones, teachers, friends, and local grocery clerks are all covered. It can be scary and confusing. Who's Behind the Mask? aims to help calm some of those fears. Each page shows an example of someone in a mask. Children can turn the page to see a smiling face underneath. Even the doggie is wearing one!
Lily likes to wear the cat mask that her father bought for her, but she isn't allowed to wear it in school until her class has a costume party, where she makes a new friend.
From the award-winning Gemma Merino, author of the iconic The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water (over half a million copies sold worldwide), The Dragon Who Didn't Like Fire is a deeply funny story about acceptance, difference and unconditional love. Everybody knows that dragons can breathe fire, but unlike her brothers and sisters, this little dragon is different. She doesn’t like fire but she desperately wants to fly and make her Dad proud. In an attempt at flying, she finds herself plunging into the lake. Being underwater should be wet, cold and horrid, but it feels AMAZING. Could it be that this little dragon isn’t a dragon at all?
Becoming a mother is filled with the extremes of emotion --the highest highs and the lowest lows. But women are often reluctant to talk honestly about the experience for fear they'll be seen as bad mothers. With wit and candor, The Mask of Motherhood takes on the myths and the misinformation, helping women to prepare and deal with the depth of feeling that comes with the experience and perhaps most important, it lets them know that many, if not most, new mothers are feeling the same way.Susan Maushart, sociologist and mother of three, explores how motherhood affects our marriages and friendships, our relationships with parents, our sex lives, and our self-esteem. In The Mask of Motherhood, mothers will find the comfort and reassurance they are looking for, and confirmation that, indeed, motherhood is the toughest job in the world, but can also be the most rewarding.
