A children's picture book written by Lori Pappin. A story about friendship, belonging, and celebrating our differences.
The Story
"Welcome to Monster Town, come on in and see! Where monsters are silly as silly can be!"
Welcome to Monster Town takes young readers inside a spirited community where monsters bounce, bop, wiggle, and play. The town is home to an unforgettable cast of characters: Jellybean Jill with her colorful jellybean hat, Grizzle McFizz who is part monster and part cat, and Grumble McGee who watches quietly from the shade under a green tree.
While the parade of monsters celebrates with laughter and silly fun, Grumble feels hesitant to take part. Jellybean Jill notices him, approaches with a smile, and asks the question that changes everything: "Wanna jump in?" With gentle encouragement from the neighborhood, Grumble discovers that being different is something to celebrate, and there is always a place for everyone at the table.
