About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is preparing for a large family gathering or navigating the tricky waters of playing with cousins who have very different personalities. Whether they are dealing with the excitement of a reunion or the minor friction that comes from sharing space and toys, this story offers a comforting and hilarious mirror to the chaotic beauty of extended family life. The story centers on a bustling barbecue at Grandma June's house, where a diverse group of cousins brings their unique interests: from high-fashion runways and baseball to pirate adventures. While the day is filled with joy, it also honestly depicts the moments where cousins don't get along, like the accidental mess of a Mississippi Mud Pie slide. Ultimately, it celebrates how these unique bonds allow for shared secrets and lifelong friendships. It is an ideal choice for children aged 3 to 7 to help them value their own family's unique quirks.
