Allie is a little alpaca with big dreams: to make sure that each day is absolutely perfect in absolutely every way. That doesn't seem too much to ask . . . does it?

Allie greets each day with a grin. This, she tells herself, is a NEW day. A promising day. And it will be a 100 PERCENT PERFECT, FRUSTRATION-FREE day!

Too bad reality doesn't cooperate. Determined to master multiple skills, from tying her shoes to drawing an amazing picture to baking incredible cookies, Allie fails again and again, stomping and groaning and grumbling and moaning. Intent upon perfection, Allie misses a lot of fun along the way. Fortunately, little brother Alfie is there to remind her to laugh at herself and enjoy the process of getting to be pretty good. But not perfect.

Sometimes finding the funny can make everything feel just a little more sunny. And some days can feel just about perfect, regardless of what happens.
