Every Christmas there are two tables -- the kids' table and the adults' table. So why in the world would an 8-year-old girl be stuck at the kids' table? She is NOT a baby. She is NOT a toddler. She is a grown up! She can do two-digit multiplication and knows how to cut her own food. She deserves to be at the adult table! And after an empowered speech and mini-breakdown, the girl is moved to the adult table. Growing up is never easy, and author Colleen Madden brilliantly tackles that issue in this delightful picture book.
