From the illustrator of Someday comes a girl-power charmer about helping Mom and making a sweet, sweet mess of it--perfect for Mother's Day, cleaning day, or any day
Sprout's small, but she's good at helping. She makes the bed (with Mom still in it), cooks (if cooking is overflowing the cereal bowl), vacuums (up the cat--almost), and looks after her baby sister Bea (like a champ). Sure, sometimes Sprout's plans backfire, but good intentions go a long way--and make life interesting besides. Yes, Sprout's mama loves her little helper, no matter how big the mess.
All about daughters and moms and helping each other out, this book is bursting with affection, charm, and wit--perfect for fans of Sophie Blackall and Lauren Child's Charlie and Lola series.

PreS—Sprout is the precocious big sister in a family that includes little sister Bea and an extremely patient and cheerful hipster mother. Sprout helps out around the house by brushing everyone's teeth (including using her mother's toothbrush on the dog), doing her own hair (by taking scissors to her bangs), and feeding the goldfish (a doughnut). Her desire to help is boundless, and she is certain that her efforts are successful and appreciated. The busy sketches on each page depict a messy but cheery household where Sprout's mom gives her freedom to explore and learn. Mom happily wears Bea strapped to her back and regards her eldest daughter with good humor while being occasionally alarmed or beleaguered due to Sprout's "helping." First-born siblings will be drawn to Sprout's independence and will enjoy poring over the humorous scenes of domestic disorder.—Jenna Boles, Greene County Public Library, Beavercreek, OH
