Andy and Susie are two lively kids, intent on having fun during their summer vacation from school. However, their hard-working mom is so busy with housework that she doesn't have time to spend with them when they ask. After repeatedly hearing, "Sorry, Not Now," the children become sad. But they soon realize they can free up their mom to have fun with them by being more helpful. Written in perfect rhyme and beautifully illustrated, Sorry, Not Now is a charming, thought-provoking picture book that will be an engaging read as a bedtime story for pre-readers and early readers alike. It will also serve as an ideal starting point for discussions with children about thinking of others and the shared responsibilities of family life.
