An incredible picture book! A queer family with two dads and three kids prepares for a visit from Grandma. But their mischievous orange cat keeps switching the letters around on the fridge to-do list, resulting in tasks like mop the baby, scrub the fishes, and vaccum the cat. I love how even the illustration details, which are gorgeous, are QTPOC focused. My kid already loves it and she doesn't even understand how funny the silly jobs are.
