Little Messy Marcy Su written by Cherie Fu and illustrated by Julie Kwon is a delightful picture book for readers 4-8 years of age about one child’s inability to keep her bedroom clean. When her mother asks her to pick up her room because her grandparents are coming, she gets busy. However, everything she does to clean her clothes, her muddy dog and her room makes yet another mess. Finally, her room is clean, but the house is not. Young readers will be surprised when grandma praises her for her clean room and wonders why the rest of the house looks so bad! The back material includes ten Mandarin words used throughout this story (Little Brown and Company, 2021).
