Reach for this book when your child feels overwhelmed by the logistical tug-of-war of a large or blended family, or when they feel the weight of wanting to please everyone. Silas loves all seven of his grandparents, but when they all invite him for a sleepover on the same weekend, his joy turns to anxiety. He worries that choosing one will hurt the feelings of the others, a common emotional burden for children in modern, multi-household families. Silas eventually uses his own creativity to find a solution that brings the whole family together, teaching children that they can advocate for their own needs while still being loving. It is a lighthearted yet deeply validating story for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the beautiful but sometimes crowded landscape of extended family life.
