About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is deep in a phase of creative pretend play and needs a lighthearted lesson on respecting others' boundaries. While focusing on the fun of 'beauty shop' roleplay, it gently addresses the dynamic between an enthusiastic older sibling and a younger sibling who might have different ideas about the game. In this story, Ruby and her friend Louise are determined to give Max a full makeover using their deluxe beauty kit. The narrative highlights the humor found in family interactions and the importance of pivoting when a plan doesn't go as expected. It is perfect for preschoolers who are learning to navigate the give-and-take of cooperative play, showing that even if a 'customer' isn't interested in a makeover, there is always room for a creative solution that makes everyone happy.
