Daisy Helps with the Dress

When Daisy tries to help with her cousin’s wedding, her misguided assistance almost ruins the big day—until she finds a way to pull the dress and her family together—in this charming picture book by award-winning author Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich.

Daisy loves helping her family, and she knows the best kind of helpers never wait to be asked. That’s why she doesn’t ask before adding finishing touches to her family’s special reused, retried, and remixed things—like a leftover broccoli topping for Auntie Fontie’s cakes or a good bath for Nana DJ’s “back-in-the-day, rusty, dusty” vintage albums—much to their chagrin.

But what Daisy wants most is to help give her cousin Simone’s recycled wedding dress a little razzle-dazzle. She knows just what the vintage dress needs: a little glitter here and a few stickers there to give it some flair.

But Daisy’s cousin Simone and the rest of the family are not so happy with her decorations. Can Daisy make things right and help find Simone a new relived, reloved wedding dress?
