It’s an exciting day for a family road trip to meet the new baby cousin. A young child, along with the family dog, Miles, enthusiastically overpacks for the trip. They drive off only to realize they have lost the gift for the new baby! The family scrambles to find the lost gift, and ends up finding nostalgia, love, and silly banter along the way. The family presents as East Asian, and the dynamic illustrations include family photos and memorabilia. This funny, relatable family story has love, generosity and memories at its heart, and is great for Pre-K-2nd graders. This would be a fun story time read aloud, and is nominated as a cream of the crop book.
