Description
Created by comedian and Saturday Night Live alum Melissa Villaseñor comes a laugh-out-loud book about friendship and being yourself.
Meet Cat and Lola, the most mismatched best friends you’ll ever meet. Lola is loud, messy and happily herself— free spirited and full of energy. Cat, a former social media petfluencer, is polished, stylish and into all things cool and fashionable. When school picture day arrives, Cat, who knows a thing or two about looking good for the camera, helps Lola find the perfect outfit. Together, they try all sorts of outfit ideas, with Cat eager to help and Lola ready to experiment—though none of them fit right. As their plans spiral into hilarious chaos, they discover that being yourself is always the best look of all.
Illustrated by Mexican artist Jimena Sánchez Sarquiz, Cat and Lola: School Picture Day blends offbeat humor with genuine heart. This standout early reader graphic novel is perfect for kids who love funny stories and characters who don’t always agree, but always care.
Advance Praise
"Cat and Lola is vibrant, funny, and exceptionally charming - just like Melissa! I smiled so much reading this book that my cheeks hurt by the time I was finished."
Liz Climo, cartoonist, animator, children's book author, and illustrator
"Some characters feel like old friends right away. Lola is one of them. Cat and Lola is a total blast! Funny, heartfelt, and full of wonderful flourishes. A team for the ages, brought to life by Melissa’s wonderful voice and Jimena’s joyful art. Instantly re-readable. PEANUT BUTTER!”
