Colette’s Lost Pet
Isabelle Arsenault
Colette, newly exploring her neighborhood, wants something to say to the other children. She invents a parakeet, then turns it into a huge, well-traveled bird called Marie Antoinette. Her new neighbors eagerly join a search for the pet, while Colette keeps elaborating her story and worries that they may discover it is invented. The book follows a small lie as it grows while Colette tries to make friends in an unfamiliar place.
