The Interrupted Plans of Mango and Nan [Hardcover]

From author-illustrator Hala Tahboub comes a silly story about how Mango and Nan make the most of a canceled ice-cream outing. Perfect for readers of all ages who love the warmth and whimsy of books likeSaturdayandSwashby and the Sea.

From the brilliant mind of Hala Tahboub comes a topsy-turvy tale of a boy and his grandmother. All they want is a summer ice-cream cone, but instead they get an all-over-the-town adventure. Silly and sweet, Mango and Nan find that sometimes canceled plans and disappointment are best served with sprinkles.
