Suzie has a big problem—a monster in her closet! He’s hairy, hungry, loud, and always getting in the way. He chomps her snacks, ruins her playdate, and causes chaos everywhere he goes. But when Suzie finally loses her temper and tells him to leave, she discovers that there’s more to this monster than meets the eye.

My Monster is a warm, humorous, and imaginatively illustrated rhyming story about building empathy and learning that even the most frustrating friendships can be full of joy.
