In this beautifully gross picture book, Anna Van Ogre’s lovely monster face turns into that of a sickeningly adorable, rosy-cheeked little girl—and it’s not switching back! Can she find a way to stop looking like an ugly human and regain her gorgeous monstrosity of a face?

This incredible story for ages 5 and up is about beauty standards, owning your uniqueness, and developing self-esteem. Nationally acclaimed comedian and perpetual bestselling author David Sedaris and renowned creator of the Olivia picture book series Ian Falconer come together to ponder the eternally relevant question: Is true beauty really on the inside?
