You Need to Chill is delightful picture book about family, identity, and acceptance. When Bill can't be found at school one day, the imaginations of the other children run wild. Is he on vacation? Is he lost in the park? Has he been eaten by a shark?! It's up to Bill's sister to explain...”You need to chill! My brother Bill is now my sister Lily.”
