About Camilla Cream
Camilla Cream is the main character from the book A Bad Case of Stripes. It is a children’s book written and illustrated by David Shannon. The book was published in 1998 by Blue Sky Press, a division of Scholastic Press. A Bad Case of Stripes sheds light on the subject of being true to oneself. It is used by teachers to teach important values to young students. It follows the story of Camilla who likes lima beans but does not want to eat it in front of friends because her friends do not like the beans. She wants to fit in. The next day, she gets covered in stripes and the only cure was to eat lima beans and not care about what others think of her preference.
