This is a solid, heartwarming pick for families navigating the 'December Dilemma' (or in this case, the April one). It doesn't try to be high art, and some critics have pointed out that the plot logistics are a bit fuzzy, but that’s missing the point.

It’s a functional tool for parents who want to show their kids that different traditions don't have to compete—they can just make the party bigger. It’s kind, it’s colorful, and it comes with snacks (recipes). If you're looking for a way to explain a blended family's first joint holiday, this is your book.
