Overview

Everyone is late for a wedding and nothing is going right. But Jillian and her wonderful ribbon dress can fix almost anything--from the groom's shoelaces to the bride's unruly hair. But now Jillian's dress is a mess. Who is going to fix it for her? Robert Munsch wrote this story for Jillian, a Mohawk girl from Kahnawake, who came to a storytelling wearing her new ribbon dress. Shaikara David is an Indigenous artist from Akwesasne Mohawk Territory. She studied at Algonquin College and worked in animation before starting to illustrate picture books. For this book she was inspired by her own childhood ribbon dress and the generous and giving culture of her family and Mohawk people. Shaikara lives in Ottawa with her partner, two cats and an axolotl.

Praise for Robert Munsch: ""[Munsch is] a kindergarten superstar he ranks up there with Pablum and Pampers in name recognition arguably the most published Canadian author ever, in any genre."" --The Globe and Mail, Report on Business Magazine ""Munsch's parade of bright funny picture books has been a sales phenomenon in children's book publishing. . . And as Munsch books are requested by kids over and over every day in countless homes and schools, at story time and bedtime, the distinctive storyteller's voice will undoubtedly continue to be echoed for years to come by parents, teachers, babysitters and whomever else young kids can get to read to them."" --The Chronicle Herald ""Arguably the most successful kid-lit writer in North America."" --Toronto Star ""More witty, creative and entertaining than most of what passes for adult literature."" --The Globe and Mail ""Munsch is now as important to a whole generation of children as any television character."" ---Quill & Quire
