Lila is excited for her cousins Takeo and Rosie to visit. Theyre going to ride bikes, paint, and camp together! But when the cousins arrive, everythings wrong: Rosie and Takeo are better painters than Lila, have skateboards instead of bikes, and dont want to camp outside. Lila is terribly disappointed until the cousins make her a surprise: a big banner for their "best cousin" Lila! This sensitive story about insecurity, hosting, and friendship reminds children that negative thoughts and anxiety over exclusion dont always translate to reality.
