The Amazing Backyard Welcome Show

By Ryan Bloomberg

Moving to a new neighborhood can feel scary--but sometimes all it takes is a little imagination.

Filled with heart, humor, and a playful Peanuts-style charm, this picture book celebrates courage, creativity, and the magical way strangers can become friends.

Wendy is not excited about moving to a new town. Everything feels unfamiliar, and making new friends? That feels especially scary. But when Wendy and her dog, Riley, discover a treasure trove of dress-up delights in the attic, Wendy boldly decides to put on a show in her backyard.

What begins as one nervous girl's brave plan soon turns into a joyful neighborhood adventure as curious kids join in to build, decorate, rehearse, and perform the most amazing backyard welcome show ever.

Wendy and her new friends don't just put on a performance, they create a community.
