About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when navigating the common holiday friction between a detail-oriented older sibling and a single-minded younger one. It provides a humorous and gentle way to talk about good intentions gone awry. The story follows Ruby, who is determined to create the perfect Easter bonnet for a competition, while her little brother Max is focused only on finding Easter eggs. Max's attempts to 'help' with the bonnet, involving mud, worms, and ants, lead to mounting frustration for Ruby but result in an unexpectedly wonderful creation. For ages 3 to 6, this book is a delightful choice for its funny, relatable depiction of sibling dynamics and its reassuring message that even when siblings have different goals, their love and connection can create something beautiful.
