SUMMARY:Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse
DESCRIPTION:Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse | February 5-21\, 2027 \n“I am the queen!” Lilly loves all sorts of things. She loves school\, she loves dressing up\, she even grows to love her stinky baby brother\, Julius. In fact\, Lilly loves everything! But when Lilly brings her purple plastic purse to school and can’t wait until sharing time to show off the purse and her movie star sunglasses\, her teacher\, Mr. Slinger\, has to take away her prized possessions. \nLilly’s fury leads her to draw a mean picture of her favorite teacher. It isn’t until Mr. Slinger gives her belongings back to her with a kind note and snacks that Lilly realizes she owes Mr. Slinger an apology. Lilly is funny and unique\, and her irrepressible joy is catching. Based on the award-winning book by Kevin Henkes\, audiences\, both young and old\, will relate to the powerful emotions felt by Lilly and appreciate the sweet and satisfying resolution the production provides.
