Description

From acclaimed author and three-time Emmy-nominated writer Samantha Berger and rising star illustrator Neha Rawat comes a hilarious and heartwarming story that follows a young girl as she learns that her new stepmother might not be as evil or wicked as she originally seems. Perfect for newly blended families and a celebration of stepmothers and stepchildren everywhere!

When I first met my stepmother, I was a little suspicious. All stepmothers are supposed to be wicked! Evil! Downright B-A-D BAD! Or at least, thats what the stories say. So I thought I knew just what to expect from mine.

But my stepmother didnt seem to be any of those things. She helped me paint my room. She left me notes in my lunchbox. She baked my favorite lemon squares. Is it possible I might have been wrong about stepmothers

Reviews

Perhaps stepmothers arent as cruel as folklore has led us to believe. This is a simple lesson, shared humorously and earnestly, about how fears and pre-judgments can shift with experience. Totally genuine and fills a gap by showcasing positive outcomes in blended families. Kirkus Reviews
