2018 New Apple Book Awards: CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOKS

SOLO MEDALIST WINNER

Smelly Cat

by Maria Ashworth
Illustrated by Alycia Pace

Lily’s life is the best as soon as she was adopted by her parents! The car rides all to herself, her own room, snuggles with mommy and ball playing with daddy. But then things change: one day her parents adopt another, a "Smelly Cat". Now Lily must share her room, toys, and worst of all her parents. Does that pose a threat for this pup or could there be a happier outcome for Lily? With adorable visuals, Maria Ashworth takes a recognizable story and gives the ending a humorous spin through one inexperienced pup.
