It Had to Be Ben!
Even his elbows look suspicious.
Bea’s little red truck is missing. Her brother wanted a turn, and now every grin, song, and tiptoe seems like proof. But what if Bea has read the whole thing wrong?
A playful story about siblings, jumping to conclusions, and finding the words to make things right.
