Her newest title, Would I Trade My Parents? is full of fun, whimsical details and a relatable cast of characters,  that will resonate with parents and kids alike, as readers remember why they would never trade their parents for the world!

What child hasn’t thought about trading his or her parents for the ones next door? Who wouldn’t be discouraged if their parents didn’t allow them to have pets or go camping or drink chocolate milk before dinner?

In the newest picture book by New York Times #1 bestselling author Laura Numeroff, a little boy ponders why his friends’ parents are so special and why sometimes he wishes he could trade . . . But then he remembers his very own parents and all the amazing things that only they know how to do—like the way they always read with him or leave notes in his lunch box or take him on family bike rides. In fact, his parents are the best of all!

Just as jellybeans are different colors and flavors, each character in this heartwarming friendship story has a personality and pizzazz that young readers will love.

Emily loves to dance and can’t wait to meet the other girls in her class, who are sure to be just like her. But instead she meets Nicole, a tomboy who would rather be playing soccer; Bitsy, who loves arts and crafts; and Anna, a shy bookworm who has no interest at all in dancing. Realizing that they have to work together to make their dance recital a success, the girls learn to love each other’s differences and strengths as they band together and name their group the Jellybeans!
