Illustrated by
Tomek Bogacki.
Daffodil and her sisters are identical triplets. At parties Violet always wears a violet dress, Rose wears pink, and Daffodil wears yellow--"sour, fake-cheerful yellow that reminded Daffodil of pee." One day Daffodil rebels, and--surprise--Violet and Rose declare their misery, too. The same friendly curves define both the typeset and the lively pictures, a design well matched to a story about bending the lines.
