From beloved actor Josh Gad—star of the animated hit movie FROZEN and the live-action movie BEAUTY AND THE BEAST—comes a hilarious picture book about a girl who won't rest until she gets the latest cool toy.

Eve knows she has all she needs. But what does she really WANT? Only the coolest doll on the market: PictureFace Lizzy! If only she can convince her parents to get her one, she knows she'll love it forever AND have the hottest toy in town. But what happens when you get what you want and that rush wears off? 

This hilarious, energetic, and relatable story is all about the contagion of consumerism... and how imagination and love are the real gifts.
Josh Gad is an American actor, singer, and comedian. He is known for voicing Olaf in the Frozen franchise and for playing Elder Arnold Cunningham in the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon and LeFou in the live-action adaptation of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. He lives in Los Angeles with his family.

Marta Kissi has illustrated several beloved series, including Fairy Mom and Me by Sophie Kinsella and The Breakfast Club Adventures by Marcus Rashford, as well as Alice Paul Tapper’s debut picture book, Raise Your Hand. Her favorite part of being an illustrator is bringing stories to life by designing charming characters and the wonderful worlds in which they live. Originally from Warsaw, Marta now lives in Bath, England, with her husband, James, and their son, Ollie.
"This wholesome, funny tale tackles themes of consumerism and technology trends...A humorous yet balanced take on a hot topic." —Kirkus
