Cat and Lola: School Picture Day

Picture Day Meets Two Completely Different Best Friends

Cat and Lola: School Picture Day introduces a wonderfully mismatched pair. Lola is loud, messy, energetic, and perfectly comfortable being herself, while Cat is a polished former pet influencer who knows how to pose and cares deeply about style. When picture day arrives, Cat decides that helping Lola find the right outfit is exactly the job for her.

Every New Look Goes a Little More Wrong

The friends try one outfit after another, with Cat applying her camera-ready instincts and Lola enthusiastically experimenting. None of the looks feels right, and the search tumbles into visual comedy and mounting chaos. The solution is gentler than a makeover: Lola's best picture comes from embracing the person she already is, with a good friend beside her.

Melissa Villaseñor Starts a Graphic-Novel Series

Saturday Night Live alum and comedian Melissa Villaseñor makes her graphic-novel debut with this 62-page story, illustrated by Jimena Sánchez Sarquiz. The expressive format gives their opposing personalities room to bounce off each other through clothes, poses, and reactions that young readers can follow easily. Aimed at ages five to eight, the book is the first Cat and Lola adventure and arrives September 22. It turns ordinary school nerves into a funny friendship story without treating either girl's personality as the problem.
