Wisconsin author Kevin Henkes writes stories that are true to the way children view the world. Emotions are absolute. Senses are sharper. The line between reality and imagination is blurred. Children who read the books easily identify with the problems and triumphs of theses mice children, and parents laugh as they remember their own childhood or as they see their children in Lily and her friends. It is Henkes' respect for children and their emotions that makes Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse a perfect fit for First Stage Children's Theater.
