It's about a young girl (6-8 years) who lives in an apartment, mostly by herself. Her parents travel constantly and send postcards home to her. The girl has a monster-like companion who lives with her. The girl has a collection of hats and in her house there is a long table with different types of lights hanging overhead (this was described in detail).

The author is a children's illustrator and this may have been the first book he authored. It was published in or around 2007. It is fairly short (maybe 75 pages or so) and around a 3rd or 4th grade reading level.

If anyone has ANY ideas, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!! ]]>
