How can it be the holidays if everyone isn't together? Relevant and relatable, Just Us will provide comfort and warm hearts at a time of the year when maybe it's needed most. A fantastic holiday read for ages 3-7 that is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas and the winter season. What happens when a storm prevents all the relatives from coming in for the holidays? No Grandma, no aunts, no uncles, no cousins. No fun! The family will have to adapt their traditions to versions that can be done on a smaller scale--from a more manageable stew dinner, a hike in the snow, or a game of cards instead of rowdy charades. Navigating disappointment with mindfulness and gratitude, the family pieces together a holiday full of new traditions, while still acknowledging that it's okay to miss the old ones.
