Busy Betty
Witherspoon's first picture book, about a small girl with enormous plans and a dog badly in need of a bath.
Betty is a girl with big ideas and boundless energy, and in her debut outing she decides her dog Frank urgently needs a bath. What follows is the familiar chaos of an ambitious plan meeting an uncooperative reality, resolved when Betty enlists her best friend and discovers that hard problems get easier with help. Illustrated by Xindi Yan in bright, crowded spreads, it is aimed at young readers who recognise the impulse to fix everything at once.
