You are a good reader.

It’s Monday, and April and Mae aren’t prepared for book club. To save time, April reads the book aloud while Mae bakes a cake for their friends. When they forget to add flour, some quick thinking helps the girls salvage the dessert. Sometimes a mistake can turn into something better than the original plan!

With imagination and humor, Every Day with April and Mae brings all there is to know and love about friendship to life in a way kids can both relate to and learn from making this a perfect fit for young readers ready to step up from picture books.

The reviews are in, and they’re terrific!

• “A lively celebration of friendship and compromise perfect for readers advancing beyond picture books.” —Children’s Literature
• “With short sentences and repetitive vocabulary, this sweet early reader is augmented with digital illustrations that provide some foreshadowing clues to the narrative. April and Mae are strong friends who problem-solve effectively. A simple, charming tale of friends who work through concerns together.” —Kirkus Reviews
