August Brown is a very sullen boy who has been forced by his recently divorced mom to move from Vermont to Washington, D.C. His perspective on the new city is totally transformed when he meets the whimsical people from Pineapple Place. Pineapple Place, and the people who live there, have been magically traveling from city to city since the 1930s. August learns lessons of friendship and opening yourself up to new places from his new friends. Because the people of Pineapple Place collect items from the trash to repurpose for their clothes, I imagined a playful found-object quality for their clothes. I wanted this story to feel cozy and inviting.
