![]() Narratively, this book is crafted for young audiences, following a deliberate repetitive structure: a four-fold problem presented, four attempts at a solution, and finally, an epiphany that solves Mimi’s identity crisis in a satisfying way. In frustration, she sets out to prove them wrong and learns the true strengths of her assertive self-identity in the process. But her predilections find her typecast, as her mom warns her not to get dirty, her friends doubt her physical strength and intellectual acumen, and cool older kids take digs at her ebullient nature. ![]() The titular Mimi is a free-spirited, tutu-sporting young girl with a penchant for pink, purple, expert accessorizing, and delicious (pink and purple!) jelly toast. ![]() K-Gr 2–The catastrophes keep coming, but the cuteness, happily, also never lets up. ![]()
