Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Grandma is coming. Both children are ready. Both want the first hello.

Kai has picked his funniest Ellie story. Aria has made a welcome card. They are waiting by the door, listening for every promising sound. An ordinary noise becomes 'Is that her?' A shoe inches forward. The visit has not begun, and the race is already on.

Who Gets Grandma First? turns a tiny family moment into a funny, interactive story about wanting to matter. To Kai and Aria, opening the door can feel much bigger than opening the door. It can feel like being the person Grandma was most excited to see.

Your child chooses what the family tries. Make a greeting plan or wait to see who reaches the door first? Choose different welcome jobs or flip a coin? If a fair plan still feels disappointing, keep it or explain the feeling and agree on a change?

At decision points, readers pick an action and follow its printed page destination. Their choices change the welcome, the conversations, the waiting, and the visit that follows. Every path reaches a complete ending, and a new read lets the family approach the same moment differently.

The humor is in the eager preparations, overlapping pet stories, an upside-down welcome card, and Ellie offering her ball as if that settles everything. The feelings stay real. When Grandma comforts one child, the other can feel overlooked too. Both children's feelings matter, even when only one child's upset is easy to see.

The story separates temporary attention from lasting love. A coin can choose a door-opening job, but it cannot choose how somebody feels. Repair means understanding what each person hoped for and finding another way to connect, not choosing a favorite or demanding a cheerful face.

Explore everyday choices together:

- Tell someone what you hoped would happen.- Notice another person's wish to be included.- Distinguish being first from being loved.- Talk about disappointment after an agreed decision.>Part of Choices Have Consequences. Written for ages 4 to 8 and caregiver co-reading. Meet the family, follow the expressive illustrations, compare paths, and use the reflection and caregiver prompts to talk about visits, attention, sibling feelings, and family connection.

Can a welcome make room for more than one big hope?
