APPEALS TO: MANY

Little Monster loves her family, but on the first day of school she saw families of multiple children.  She wondered why she was the only  monster in her home. It made her sad and alone on school photo day to see all the siblings taking photos together. When her dad noticed she was sad, he asked her why. Her dad wisely answered her.

Coyne’s adorably rhymed and illustrated book will wow children and parents. The bright illustrations and creative monsters will keep a child looking across the pages. The message that an only child can feel assured by the love of their family and  friends empowers them.
