When the local sandcastle-building contest is canceled due to litter at the beach, Cora and Mama pull on gloves and get to work, but soon Cora realizes it will take more than two pairs of hands to solve a big problem. With practical solutions for tackling the plastic problem, this heartfelt story demonstrates that a person is never too young or too small to inspire big change.

If your grown-ups bring home a small monster, er, baby, don't panic. Just send it back!

​

In this hilarious and heartfelt book about sibling relationships, a girl can't believe it when her parents bring home a fussy, stinky, attention-stealing monster. She hatches a plan to send it back to where it came from, with hilarious results . . . and along the way, she learns that maybe monsters--and baby siblings--aren't so bad after all.

A picture book celebrating grandmas and all that makes them magic, ideal for fans of How to Babysit a Grandma .
When a child is born, a grandma is born too. Grandmas aren't like regular grown-ups. Grandmas are filled with magic.
In this charming picture book tribute to grandmas, a grandma's magic bursts through the door as soon as she comes to visit and can be seen in every wonderful thing she does: playing, exploring, baking, gardening, and in all the many ways a grandma and grandchild connect.
