Mary Had a Little Plan

by Tammi Sauer

Book Overview

After glamming it up with her school friends in the bestselling Mary Had a Little Glam, children's book author Tammi Sauer brings back Mary, the resourceful, stylish little girl protagonist for another exciting adventure. This time, a little plan that has a big impact on her community!

Mary had a little plan
that sprouted on the spot.
It all began the day she passed
a drab, abandoned lot.

Fashion-forward Mary is known for adding flair everywhere she goes. When she spots an abandoned lot in her neighborhood, Mary knows she can use her talent to spruce it up. Soon she's rallying neighborhood shops and calling on her friends to help. With Mary leading the way, this group carries out her little plan and fashions a future that is bright!

Themes of young girl empowerment, community, ecology, and cooperation provide a framework for the story and are natural talking points in the early elementary classroom. Sauer's gift for rhyming text marries with the playful art of illustrator Brantley-Newton to create an engaging, fun African American young children's book suitable for any children's collection.
