Synopsis: Keyana’s always full of big ideas. Her latest and greatest plan is to host a perfect family movie night. From aunts to uncles to her five favorite cousins, everyone is invited! She knows the best way to impress her guests is with a fabulous soiree, and there’s a lot on her to-do list. But when the night doesn’t go as planned, she’ll have to rely on a little help from the people she loves most.
Review: I thought this was a super cute book that focused on family and the bonds that exist to help each other out. During the event that Keyana has specially planned, things go array and she has to learn to rely on others for help. I think this is a very good book for young children to learn that they don’t always need to learn how to perfect something 100%. Sometimes everyone, even grownups, needs help and you shouldn’t ever be ashamed to ask for it.
Verdict: I loved it so much! Highly recommend!
