Banana





A quirky and hilarious picture book parable about parental distraction and a daughter's clever solution.

A quirky and hilarious picture book parable about parental distraction and a daughter's clever solution.

My dad is the best.
 
We love hanging out together.
 
Recently, he got this banana. At first, we had a great time with the banana — it does cool stuff and it’s really fun.
 
But lately he’s spending too much time with the banana. He’s distracted, and he’s not enjoying the things he used to enjoy, like hanging out with me.
 
I don’t think this banana is good for him.
 
It’s time to take action.
 
Zoey Abbott tackles parental distraction in a quirky and hilarious way in this parable about too much of a good thing. With her trademark wit and engaging illustrations, she introduces a very wise kid and a not-so-wise parent who eventually see eye to eye in a story that will delight readers of all ages.

Praise for Banana

PRAISE FOR I Do Not Like Yolanda by Zoey Abbot:
 
"A book that will inspire readers to find their own pen pals, a good book, and a new friend." —Starred Review, School Library Journal

"Young readers will get caught up in the illustrations, and the idiosyncratic friendship may grow on them. This offbeat, intergenerational story celebrates connection." —Kirkus Reviews

"I Do Not Like Yolanda is stamped with quirky details within recognizable experiences. It’s a true original." —Imaginary Elevators
