Rosie and the Pre-Loved Dress is a charming book highlighting the world of possibilities found in a thrift store. Rosie visits her local thrift store with her mother when a yellow dress that sparkles and shines catches her eye. When Rosie gets the dress home she finds the name Mila written on the label inside. She tries to imagine all of the adventures Mila had in the dress before her. Rosie loves the new-to-her dress and wears it every day until she outgrows it.
The illustrations are whimsical and sweet. The character is cute and quirky, she wears the dress on many adventures like skateboarding with mismatched socks. A fun fact, author Leanne Hatch is also a textile and accessories designer that lives in the Pacific Northwest. I highly recommend this book. I think this book is a great way to share the joy and wonder of recycled clothing.
