La narración de las aventuras y desventuras de la protagonista de este texto, comienzan cuando descubre que tiene un sentimiento nuevo y extraño, no sólo el sentimiento, sino el receptor es éste. Lily es una ratoncita que está fascinada con su nuevo profesor y vive buscando la forma de llamar la atención, tanto de él como del resto de sus compañeros de curso. Un buen día se le ocurre la idea perfecta: llevará a la escuela todos los regalos que su abuela le ha comprado el fin de semana y, entre los cuales está su fantástico bolso de plástico morado. En fin, durante la clase ella intenta llamar la atención de todos para enseñar su maravilloso bolso; sin embargo, contrario a lo que esperaba, consigue que su profesor se enfade.

About the author

Kevin Henkes was born in Racine, Wis. in 1960 and graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. One of four children in his family, Henkes grew up with aspirations of being an artist. As a junior in high school, one of Henkes's teachers awakened his interest in writing. Falling in love with both writing and drawing, Henkes realized that he could do both at the same time as a children's book author and illustrator. At the age of 19, Henkes went to New York City to get his first book, All Alone, published. Since that time, he has written and illustrated dozens of picture books including Chrysanthemum, Protecting Marie, and A Weekend with Wendell. A recurring character in several of Henkes's books is Lily, an outrageous, yet delightful, individualist. Lily finds herself the center of attention in the books Chester's Way, Julius, the Baby of the World, and Lily's Purple Plastic Purse. A Weekend With Wendell was named Children's Choice Book by the Children's Book Council in 1986. He recieved the Elizabeth Burr Award for Words of Stone in 1993.
