When a notice for a community potluck is posted, Victoria and her neighbor Mrs. Kosta decide to bring a beet salad as their contribution. But first they need to grow this special vegetable for their dish. They plant the seeds in their garden plot, and throughout the summer they water, fertilize, weed, and mulch. And they watch their beet grow and grow and grow. On potluck day, it's time to harvest so they can make their salad. Victoria grabs the garlic and the grater and Mrs. Kosta steps up to remove the beautiful red veg from its underground home. But their care and attention has grown the biggest beet ever, and it stubbornly refuses to come loose. This beet won't budge! Will Victoria and Mrs. Kosta be able to make their special salad? Not to worry--help comes in all shapes and sizes. This clever, humorous take on an old folktale is a celebration of community and the ways we all come together. Back matter includes a beet salad recipe.

More Info
Come Over To My House is a delightful picture book that explores the home lives of children and parents who are Deaf or disabled.

Co-written by disability advocate Eliza Hull and bestselling author Sally Rippin, the inclusive rhyming text authentically explores the characters' various disabilities.

A cast of friendly characters invite friends over for a play - there's fun to be had, food to eat and families to meet!

Come over to my house. Come over and play!
I'll show you around, you can stay the whole day.
We'll swing on the swing-set and splash in the pool.
Then I'll race you inside where my bedroom is cool.

Featuring a gorgeous die-cut cover, bright illustrations and a diverse cast, this is a must-read for all families.

- The perfect book to start a conversation about disability and inclusion with parents, care-givers and children.
- Inclusive text normalizes rather than emphasizes the characters' various disabilities. Disabilities are often only shown in the illustrations, not spelt out in the text. This allows the characters' personality to shine brighter than their difference.
- The bouncy rhyming text is a joy to read out loud.
- Sally Rippin's books have sold over 10m copies globally (across Australia, New Zealand and the US).
- The story falls under three Bright Light pillars: bodies, diversity and character.
