About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is eager to prove they are 'old enough' for big responsibilities or when they are feeling apprehensive about participating in a formal family event. It is a perfect choice for kids who find their own ways to contribute when traditional expectations, like being a flower girl, do not quite fit their personality. Willow and Delia are nine-year-old cousins who would much rather be in the kitchen than wearing itchy dresses. As they navigate a summer family wedding at Lake Michigan, they use their shared love of baking to show their family who they truly are. It is a gentle, humorous story about self-expression, cousin bonding, and the pride of mastering a new skill. With a 7 to 10 year old audience in mind, this book celebrates the transition into being a 'big kid' while keeping the stakes low and the atmosphere sweet.
