A family-focused picture book from Instagram design darlings Jillian Harris and Justin Pasutto about an imperfect family and a day of catastrophes that ends on a high note around the dinner table.

Alarm not going off? Check.
Dogs tracking mud into the house? Check.
Spilled coffee? Check.
Wrong lunch, splattered paint, runaway lawn mower? Check, check, CHECK.

Everything that could go wrong does on this no-good day! But even when a dinner fiasco strikes, this family knows how to turn their frowns upside down . . .

This peek inside the daily chaos of Jillian and Justin’s family (two small kids and two large dogs) is a hilarious romp and a heartwarming story of the restorative power of food for every family that has perfect not-perfect days.
