A fun and sweet celebration of being true to yourself, from the brilliant duo behind The Day the Banana Went Bad. Michael's one cool cookie - and he LOVES to stand out from the batch. Everyone knows it, but not everyone loves it, especially his brothers and sisters: "Fall in line," they tell him. "Be round! Be good! Be neat! Be what cookies should be - super round and super sweet." Michael doesn't want to be like the rest - he wants to be Michael. But when Michael starts to feel like he can't be himself, he feels all alone and the poor cookie CRUMBLES. Will his brothers and sisters be there for him when he needs them most? And will they realise that it's our differences that truly make us sweet? Engaging rhyming text by Michelle Robinson makes this funny and heartwarming picture book the perfect way to talk to children about their emotions Laugh-out-loud illustrations by Tom Knight brings even more warmth and personality to this brilliant story.
