A hardcover book titled "ALMA and the BEAST" by Esmé Shapiro with a colorful illustrated cover showing two faces surrounded by flowers and leafy shapes.

Alma and the Beast

Children's Book
by Esmé Shapiro

Alma lives happily in her hairy world, where she can braid the trees, comb the grass, pet the roof and feed her plumpooshkie butterfly.

Until one day—a hairless, button-nosed beast appears in the garden! At first Alma is scared but when she realizes the beast is lost and misses her hairless home, Alma offers to help her find her way back.

This quirky and charming story about friendship, empathy and perspective invites readers into a surreal, fantastical world that celebrates differences and making new friends.

Hardcover, for ages 3-8 years.
