What is the Little Miss meme?
THE LATEST meme exploding across social media was invented as a series of children's books, which recently celebrated their 50th anniversary.
The kids' books are known as the Mr Men series, which started in 1971, and then the Little Miss series, which was added in the 80s.
What is the Little Miss meme?
The Little Miss meme takes one of English author Roger Hargreaves' Little Miss characters and then adds a modern adjective or life scenario after it.
Traditionally, these books were to teach children life lessons, but now they serve as relatable and funny content.
There are plenty of Little Miss characters to choose from, and they make the perfect meme because they come in all shapes and colors, so they apply to pretty much who considers themself a "Miss."
Mr Men characters are also making their way onto the meme scene for those who identify as male.

Then, we got to work - which included cropping out the original title and picking a font as close to it as possible (we went with Garet Extra Bold).
We decided on using Little Miss Fickle, who appears to be looking down on someone else, and changed her to Little Miss Did You Even Go to Coachella?
All done! (Although Canva does offer elements that you could add to make the scene more festival-esque).
