This is a simply charming book about a great kid named Riley and a peek into their life at home and school. It is fully of heart, humour, and brilliant interactions. I loved all the fun costume ideas and how all the kids ended up making their ideas come to life.

As a non-binary librarian who used the Mx honourific, it was so personal for me to see myself on these pages with Mx. Aude the school librarian. Not only is young Riley flourishing living as their true self, but seeing my adult self in the pages too? That meant the world to me.

This is an accessable, fun early read for children wanting to read chapter books, but that are small and easy enough to not overwhelm. The illustrations are charming, somehow new but still nostalgically comforting.
