Slow Moe
About this ebook
- A story about the sibling dynamic and the idea that your siblings may frustrate and annoy you, but you’d still do anything for them.
- Many parents will relate to the idea of having an agonizingly slow child or that, in general, children take forever to accomplish most tasks.
- The illustrations are very contemporary, Mom and Dad are drinking their micro-batch cold brew and sharing responsibilities while Moe leaves a trail of slime across their mid-century modern sofa.
- The author’s book Sun Dog (Pajama Press) won the 2019 IODE Ontario Jean Throop Book Award. Her other recent picture books include When Molly Drew Dogs (OwlKids) and The House in the Middle of the Road (OwlKids).
