Is That You, Eleanor Sue?

Reach for this book when your child is in a high-energy, theatrical mood or when you want to encourage the type of creative play that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. It is the perfect choice for a rainy Saturday or a slow afternoon when you want to model how adults can enter a child's imaginary world without taking it over. The story follows Eleanor Sue, a girl who uses costumes and clever ruses to trick her mother into thinking she is a grumpy neighbor, a witch, or a wizard. The magic happens when her mother and grandmother play along, turning the prank into a collaborative family performance. It celebrates the silliness of childhood while reinforcing the security of being 'seen' by loving caregivers. This whimsical tale is ideal for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to experiment with identity and performance.
