Illustrated by
Mika Song.
Delicate ink and watercolor illustrations show two siblings enjoying a rainy vacation week at home (e.g., the living room becomes Mars). Older sister Clare is bossy (especially about their snacks) until Harry finally gets to share his own ideas. Sibling rivalry and imaginative play is a winning combination--much like the "volcano sticks" (carrots) and "asteroid burgers" (cookies) they ultimately enjoy, together.
