The Imperfect Cookie

Publishing February 17th, 2026 | 24 pages | Hardcover

Claire the cookie was new in town . . .

It's the night before Claire the cookie’s first day at a new school, and the nerves are starting to set in. What if the other cookies don’t like her? What if she’s different than them? But when she arrives at school the next morning, she is pleasantly surprised: Everyone is different! Some cookies are tall, and some are short. One uses a computer device to talk, and another uses a wheelchair. All her classmates are different shapes and sizes and have different abilities, and Claire realizes that it’s okay to be different. How boring would the world be if we were all the same?

In The Imperfect Cookie, follow along with Claire as she discovers the importance of diversity and inclusion and see that at the end of the day, just like us, no cookies are the same. How imperfectly perfect!
