A Very Good Parade

Gabby, decked out in a tutu, cape, crown, and spatula, proclaims it's time for a parade. And whatever Gabby says, people tend to listen. She and her gramma make their way down the city street, adding children to the parade as they go—including Miguel, who has a tuba he can't play, Hugo, who knows how to sing every part of "Stayin' Alive," and Rashad, who can crab walk. Gabby wrangles the ragtag group with panache, demanding, "WHATEVER YOU’VE GOT, YOU HAVE TO JOIN THE PARADE." Before the parade is over, it will include acrobats, a lion, and even the world's tallest baby. A Very Good Parade is a joyful celebration of childhood, reminding readers that they don't need anything special to create their own fun moments in everyday life. The inside of the book jacket also doubles as a poster!
