PS
A young boy entering kindergarten looms large, while his mom appears small and blue (as in "sad"). Turns out she's worried. Youngsters will giggle when she asks, "Will you be okay...you’re still so little"--the illustration shows a big, robust boy and his tiny mom. Kids will get right away that the roles are reversed and that this is mightily amusing. Yum's breezy illustrations are spot on.
