About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the joyful chaos of a big family gathering or help a young child understand that love is never limited by physical space. It is perfect for preparing a toddler for a holiday dinner where the house might feel loud and crowded. Through bouncy, rhyming text, the story follows a young girl as she counts the many relatives arriving at Grandma's house with delicious dishes in hand. While the walls may be bursting, the family discovers a clever way to keep everyone together. This book beautifully balances early math concepts with themes of hospitality, belonging, and the warmth of a multigenerational Black family. It is a gentle, upbeat choice for children ages 2 to 5.
