Description
Let's face it. Every girl has a little big cheese in her.
Louise Cheese is no different. Night and day, Louise dreams of the limelight, lots of fuss, the red carpet, and more than anything to be the one and only "Big Cheese."
Finally, Louise gets her chance when her teacher, Mrs. Little, announces a casting call for the role of Cinderella in the school play. It's Louise's chance to be a star...or is it?
With humor and heart and just a little attitude, Elise Primavera and Diane Goode tell a story that will inspire the inner big cheese in all who read it.

How did you come to write this book?
My editor, Paula Wiseman said she had a manuscript she wanted me to look at, she said the author wanted me to illustrate it as well. My agent, Steve Malk at Writers House, sent it on to me. It turnes out the author was a friend of mine, Elise Primavera!
Auntie Claus I met at the cosmetics counter at Saks in 1996 while I was living in New York City. Who wouldn't make a story after meeting a character like her? Louise the Big Cheese grew out of the idea that striving to be a big cheese is a great concept but it doesn't always translate into making one happy.
"A perfect pairing to Kevin Henkes's Lilly's Big Day (2006), this book presents a protagonist with whom many a mini-diva will be able to identify from page one. Goode's liquid lines and sympathetic characters give the text the pop it deserves. Charming from endpapers to endpapers."
