    Dress code: birthday suit! Here is a side-splittingly funny picture book about a kid who refuses to wear any clothing -- until they discover a few unusual fashion pieces...

    On a scooter -- naked! In the cereal aisle -- naked! During story time -- naked! All week, the kid's parents beg them to put on some clothes, but their naked streak wears on. There's no end in sight. (Well, other than one *rear* end...) Come on, who cares about boring old clothes?

    Until… they find an oh-so-sparkly tutu in their sister's closet. And ooh, her favorite pair of underwear -- that would make a fancy shirt, wouldn't it? Plus, Woof Woof won't miss his collar, will he? It's such a glamorous necklace! 

    In this laugh-out-loud picture book that celebrates creativity and individuality, join a free-spirited kid as they finally break their naked streak by creating an ultra-wacky outfit all their own.
    Kim Howard is the author of Do Mommies Ever Sleep (LBYR, 2024), which Kirkus lauded as "gently humorous," and Grace and Box (Feiwel & Friends, 2021). A former teacher, she lives in Bloomington, Indiana with her husband and children. View titles by Kim Howard
    JAIME KIM was born and raised in South Korea and now lives in North Carolina. Although she was a timid child who was afraid of just about everything, she discovered a sense of serenity in drawing. As a grown-up, Jaime finally stopped being afraid of everything, but kept on drawing and painting. She works with gouache, watercolors and acrylics to create nostalgic and dreamlike illustrations, inspired by childhood memories of her family, as well as movies, art, and the outside world. Her favorite things are the sun, the moon, the sky and stars -- which is why they always creep into her artwork. Her debut illustrated picture book, Take Heart, My Child, was a #1 New York Times bestseller. View titles by Jaime Kim
    "It’s a resonant read for anyone who has reveled in (or weathered) a textile-free phase." —Publishers Weekly

    "An unremittingly funny ode to young children’s lack of inhibition." —Kirkus Reviews
