Don't Want to Go!

(2) PS When Mom wakes up with flu, Lily's dad takes the decidedly unenthusiastic ("Don't want to go!") preschooler to neighbor Melanie's house. There, Lily initially resists the woman's overtures but gradually warms up through the ordinary events of a preschooler's happy day. Homey, cheerful gouache illustrations set amidst plentiful white space allow children to focus on Lily's expressions and the interactions between characters.
