by Chris Grabenstein ; illustrated by Leo Espinosa ‧ Oliver McSnow says, “No!” to everything until his cousin Jess teaches him the power of “Yes!” A word all too familiar to caregivers of little ones, no echoes around Oliver’s house. He turns down food, a request to clean up a mess, and even the chance to use the swings. When Jess comes to play, he says, “Yes!” before Oliver can say “No!” and off they go, swinging, scootering, and even enjoying ice cream.
