Bookroo's summary

May, a savvy businesswoman with a magical bag of letters, transforms threats like bees into beets and bears into beards. But when a tornado looms, her solo act might not be enough. Stu wants to be her sidekick, but May insists she doesn't need one. As chaos approaches, will May learn that teamwork is the ultimate solution? Dive into this whimsical tale of wordplay and adventure, where letters hold the power to change everything.

From the publisher

From her trendy suit to her messenger bag, May is the picture of a successful businesswoman. After all, she is founder and sole proprietor of Word Saver, Inc. Carrying her trusty bag of letters, May saves the day again and again, turning angry BEES into playful BEETS and a rampaging BEAR into a silly BEARD. Stu begs to be her sidekick, but May insists that a businesswoman does not need a sidekick. However, May quickly realizes that teamwork may be the word of the day when a tornado threatens the town. Author Laura Gehl brings word play to a new level in this adventurous and humorous picture book, featuring spirited art by Serena Lombardo.
