Description

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.

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 loving 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.

Pjs, cuddling, and story-time before bed is a favorite at our house! The last couple weeks the kids had so much fun reading some new material I was given advanced copies of. It’s cute how now they ask what new books I have to read. As soon as I’m finished they will tell me what they loved about the book. My great little reviewers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📚📖 @netgalley #netgalley

Thank you to Net Galley for this e- copy of Just Us by Molly Beth Griffin in exchange for a honest review . This is a wonderful book that teaches so much to the early reader- holiday with families, traditions, resiliency and handling disappointment. When this family and their relatives can’t gather for the holidays due to bad weather they have to adapt and make other plans. They have different food, play different games and enjoy an outdoor hike in the snow. It teaches young readers that it is ok when things don’t go our way and this is an opportunity for new traditions- an invaluable lesson in today's society .
