About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when a well-meaning but overbearing relative comes to visit, and a child struggles to balance love with their own need for autonomy. The story follows Bella, a spirited girl who loves her grandmother but feels stifled when Grandma arrives with a long list of rules that cramp her style. The book gently explores Bella's journey from frustration to empowerment as she cleverly creates her own set of rules, leading to a respectful negotiation. For ages 6 to 8, it's a perfect conversation starter about finding your voice, setting boundaries kindly, and navigating changing family dynamics with humor and love.
