When two fuzzy creatures build a sandcastle on the beach, they agree that it's pretty much perfect. But then two new friends show up-and they see some room for improvement. It needs a bigger wall. And then a wider foundation. More friends arrive with more suggestions. The castle could also use more towers, and arches, and (of course) windows. And what about a gatehouse and stairs? And a drawbridge-and a moat?The whole crew decides to work together to make this sandcastle the absolutely most perfect sandcastle ever. But will it actually be perfect? Or will the entire project turn out quite a bit different than anyone expects?IT IS (NOT) PERFECT deftly explores how trying to change yourself to please others can end in disaster-while also showing how collaboration and a shared vision can bring friends together. Written by Anna Kang and illustrated by Christopher Weyant, IT IS (NOT) PERFECT brings back the endearing characters from the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner You Are (Not) Small.
