Description
A little girl falls on the street and scrapes her knee. Her father reassures her that "a beautiful scab will form." But she's worried - the scab is not beautiful and it's keeping her from bending her knee. As time passes, something unexpected happens: the girl starts to feel affection for the scab, which she's named Pepper. She has a hard time letting go of Pepper, even when it falls off. This charming picture book explores the emotional life of a child and the weird, funny essence of childhood with wit and understanding. With its simple yet profound story, this book offers a unique perspective on what days and weeks feel like when you're small.
