About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling the pressure of perfectionism or when you want to celebrate the beautiful chaos of a large, loving family. It is a perfect choice for teaching children that the success of a celebration is measured by the love in the room rather than the items on a to-do list. Keyana is an ambitious young girl with big dreams and a checklist for the ultimate family movie night. As she navigates the logistics of hosting aunts, uncles, and cousins, she learns that even the best-laid plans can go awry. The story beautifully models resilience and the importance of asking for help. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8, providing a warm, contemporary look at Black family life and the strength of community bonds.
