Connie Colwell Miller

Charlotte and Evan can’t wait for the Independence Day picnic. But a storm blows down branches that block their grandparents’ road, and they can’t go until it’s cleared. Would you pitch in and help clean up? In this illustrated choose-your-own-ending picture book, Charlotte and Evan have to choose between playing and helping their grandparents clean up after a storm. What will they do? Readers make choices for Charlotte and Evan and read what happens next, with each story path leading to different consequences.
