Description

Michelle Sumovich and Sarah Jacoby deliver an outlandish and utterly hilarious tale about a tired mother who unknowingly slurps her daughter up during a spaghetti dinner. A hysterical picture book full of old-world chaos, reminiscent of Tomi Ungerer, William Steig, and Strega Nona.

Sweet Paulette loves her mother tirelessly...and her exhausted mother must really love her too.

Whoopsie! Whoopsie! Whoopsie!!

Never mind that trail of chaos and smashed tomatoes at the market, because Paulette is perfect and precious and EVERYTHING IS FINE! But when her darling daughter suddenly goes missing, Paulettes mother must comb through a village of beastly children and other flustered parents to find her own child in the most unexpected of places.

Reviews

"It's a fantastical idyll that slyly mines the theme of doting adults and obstreperous children." -- Publishers Weekly

"A quirky story of a plucky mother-daughter pair that reads like a fable with eye-catching, ethereal illustrations." -- Kirkus Reviews
