Bookroo's summary

Yotsuba, a spirited young girl of alien origins, is on a quest to understand the puzzling world of grown-ups. Her single father, always winning their games, leaves her questioning the fairness of adulthood. Yet, the allure of buying ice cream alone tempts her to reconsider. As Yotsuba befuddles friends and neighbors with her antics, she learns that growing up might not be so bad after all. Will she embrace the perks of being a grown-up, or hold onto her childhood innocence? Join Yotsuba in her whimsical journey of discovery and laughter.

From the publisher

sniffle Yotsuba thinks grown-ups are mean. Daddy plays all kinds of neat games with Yotsuba, but he ALWAYS WINS! Even when Yotsuba TELLS him to be paper in Rock-Paper-Scissors, he doesn’t listen! Even then! Yotsuba never, ever wants to be a big meanie grown-up, nuh-uh! But grown-ups get to buy ice cream all by themselves, so…um…maybe it’s okay to be a grown-up sometimes?
