Illustrated by Cathy Netherwood
Meet the Diamantopoulos family! Jim, who runs a family deli and dreams of the old country; his wife Sal, a gardener who runs Mow and Grow; and their children Alexis and Baby Niko. There's also Aunty Vera, who paints her eyebrows a different shape every day according to her mood, and who's greatly admired by Alexis. Vera's stylish clothes come from Vera's Frock Shoppe.
These three entertaining and easy-to-read stories are linked by memorable characters and chaotic family situations that will strike a chord of familiarity with many young readers. Lively illustrations on every spread add to the fun.
