Henry Wants More!

(3) PS Illustrated by Brooke Boynton Hughes. "MORE!" screams exhausting/inexhaustible toddler Henry following horseplay with Papa. "AGAIN!" he yells after Grandma finishes singing him a piano tune. The rhymes are peppy, and the unexpected ending--which has Mama whispering "MORE!" (that is, one more chance to kiss a finally sleeping Henry)--is deeply loving, a quality reinforced in every clean-lined, soft-hued scene depicting this multiracial, multigenerational family.
