About The Book

This little one is eager to help and be "just like you". With a big heart and little hands, picnic messes ensue. Lucky for our little one, joy, acceptance, love, and even messes are a family trait!

"A sturdy affirmation that the willingness to help combined with patience really does matter. A recommended purchase." School Library Journal


When their family prepares for a picnic, our little toddler tries to help. They want to do everything the grownups are doing, but the results are...not ideal. Mud, lemon juice, and water end up everywhere! But this little one isn't the only one making a mess-being "just like you" runs in the family!

Toddlers won't be able to resist this rhythmic text and vibrant illustrations.

About The Illustrator

Letícia Moreno is an illustrator and comic artist from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She graduated in Art History in the School of Fine Arts of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (EBA/UFRJ) and lives in a city named Maricá, next to lakes, a beach and lots, lots, lots, of green area! Letícia's artwork focuses on drawing black characters but refusing stereotypes of black people - making cute, colorful and fun characters. When not drawing you will surely find Letícia either playing Animal Crossing, watching Twitch streams, making some vegan recipes or playing with her dogs, Soshi and Pimenta.

VERDICT This is a sturdy affirmation that the willingness to help combined with patience really does matter. A recommended purchase for little helper shelves.
