Book description:   Jadyn and Genesis want to play together but neither one wants to play what the other wants to. What will they do? Will they be able to brainstorm and find a way to play together? Will they play alone? "The Day No One Played Together" teaches an important lesson in a fun way. Join these sisters in the first of their series.

Book review:  What I really liked about The Day No One Played Together is the creative and natural way the two sisters, with the guidance of Mom, work out the solution to their problem.  Young readers will adapt this attitude and resolution for themselves and be sure to carry it over to their play.  Jadyn and Genesis are likeable characters that kiddos can relate to--and who doesn't have children that sometimes can't play together?  I'm looking forward to more from this author.
