Philomena’s habit of turning every conversation back to herself has begun to affect her friendships. When she hears that a creature might help banish the “big, bad Mimi,” she sets out to find it—and comes to see the value of listening to what others have to say. The playful premise gives young readers a clear social theme: sharing attention is part of building friendships, and listening is a skill that takes practice.

Book overview

A little girl's big ego meets its match in this fun, clever take on learning to share the spotlight.

No one wants to play with Philomena, and she knows why: it's the big, bad Mimi. Whenever someone starts talking, the Mimi shows up, and it becomes impossible for Philomena to not talk about herself. "ME, too! Watch ME! Listen to ME!" It's becoming a problem - for everyone. Philomena is desperate to for the big, bad Mimi to go away so the other children will play with her again. So she's thrilled when her teacher tells her there's a powerful creature that can chase away the big, bad Mimi for good. When Philomena finally encounters this creature, she discovers why listening to what others have to say is a skill worth practicing.
