To get to the bottom of the mystery of her missing sock so she can run away in peace, Zadie interrogates each member of her big, annoying family—even her dog Banjo—before a surprise discovery while she plays with her baby brother convinces her to stick around a little while longer. Reminiscent ofPeter’s Chair by Ezra Jack Keats andWhen Sophie Gets Angry—Really,Really Angry...by Molly Bang, Zadie and the Stripey Sock is a new story filled with vibrant, handmade cut paper illustrations from author-illustrator Barbara Nye that explores family, identity, emotion, imagination, and the comfort of home.
