About the Book
One Minute.
A Million Possibilities.
Every morning, Andrew and his Daddy played together until his nanny Marcia arrived at 7:45am. But today it was 7:46am — and Marcia wasn't here yet.
"Maybe her feet turned into bananas, and she's having a hard time walking to work."
What follows is a joyful, laugh-out-loud parade of impossibilities:
- Marcia made of ice cubes, melting in the sun
- Marcia wearing all 17 pairs of her pants at once
- Marcia paddling a raft through alligator-infested streets
- Marcia trapped in a giant squirrel's nest
With each wild scenario, a father and son laugh together — until the knock at the door arrives.
When Will Marcia Be Here? is a funny, tender story about boundless childhood imagination and the warmth of wondering together. The interactive ending page invites young readers to invent their own explanation — making every reading a little different.
