Bookroo's summary

Meet Riley, a vibrant spirit who dresses to match their mood. From a bunny costume for a shy Monday to a superhero cape for a daunting dentist visit, Riley's wardrobe is as dynamic as their week. Whether donning a ball gown for an outing with Otto and Oma or something else entirely, Riley's choices defy expectations and celebrate individuality. This delightful tale invites readers to explore the joy of being true to oneself, no matter what others think. What will Riley wear next, and how will it reflect their inner world?

From the publisher

Riley wears whatever clothes feel right each day. On Monday, Riley feels shy and wears a bunny costume to school. On Tuesday, a scary trip to the dentist calls for a super hero cape. For a trip out with Otto and Oma, a ball gown is the perfect outfit. This charming picture book is a gentle exploration of self-expression and source of encouragement for being true to oneself despite the expectations of others.
