Bookroo's summary

In a world where kids are in charge, Iris leads with wild ideas like trampoline sidewalks and candy houses. But when chaos ensues, Iris faces a tough decision: can she trust adults to help restore order? As the candy furniture disappears and marshmallows rain down, the children must decide if they can balance fun with responsibility. Will Iris and her friends give adults another chance, or will they find a way to manage their whimsical world on their own? Discover the challenges of leadership and the importance of teamwork in this imaginative tale.

From the publisher

A James Patterson Presents Picture BookKids can imagine a world where they’re in charge – and ask the grown-ups for help when they need to – in this adorable and imaginative picture book.The kids have some excellent ideas: turning the Grand Canyon into a ball pit, replacing all the sidewalks with trampolines. But running the world is a tough job. After the kids build a massive house of candy and then immediately eat all of their own furniture, they begin to have second thoughts. Will the kids give the adults one more chance to run the world?
