Mimi and her best friend, her plushie Penelope are awake and ready for the day. Penelope has magic to help Mimi when she wants something. Mimi is dressed in her cute outfit but is unhappy being called "cute" all day. She wishes to be strong, smart, and cool, not her regular "cute" self. Penelope helps her change outfits to be different. Things don't go the way Mimi thought they would and she learns a valuable lesson.
Mimi and the Cutie Catastrophe is a delightful graphic novel teaching children to be happy with themselves. Grant's illustrations are modern and will encourage younger readers to reach for Mimi first. The illustrations and text thoroughly depict the message of being yourself and being true to your best friends. The characters are multicultural.
