Another adorable book from Ylleya! Cupcake has planned of ways to get out of going to school, but her mother has thwarted them! She washed her tutu, the doctor is on call for a shot! Oh dear! All due to being afraid of not knowing anyone! All kids have been there, and this is an adorable book, about having faith, and taking the leap, and you'll find your reward (in Cupcake's case, a new best friend!). This is an adorable book, and Miss Grace gives it a high five. So if your little one is still tentative about school, pick up this book and help them through their fear!

About the Author:
Ylleya Fields is the mother of three beautiful children, two of whom are girls. Hunting for books to read to her eldest daughter when she was 2, Fields was struck by the small selection of titles featuring a African American character. Blending both of her daughters' images and personalities, Fields created Princess Cupcake Jones. This is her debut book, and the first book in the series. Several more books featuring this adorable young girl are currently in the works, so watch for more adventures starring Cupcake Jones.
