If I Had a Monster

If I Had a Monster is a heartwarming and whimsical celebration of family, told through the eyes of a child who imagines life shared with gentle, goofy, and sometimes grumpy monsters. What if your brother had purple fur and a roar that shook the windows? What if your mom had wings that wrapped you up like a warm blanket? What if your grandpa could sneeze thunderstorms but always made you laugh afterward?

Each page of this beautifully illustrated book explores a new "monster relative," blending humor, tenderness, and imagination to show that love comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors, sometimes with fangs, claws, or three glowing eyes. Beneath the playful fantasy lies a touching truth: families, no matter how different they may seem, are built on care, patience, and belonging.

From bedtime giggles to kitchen catastrophes, this story reminds readers that what truly matters is not how a family looks, but how it loves. Whether your monster is tall and shaggy or tiny and sparkly, family is where you're accepted just as you are.

If I Had a Monster invites children and adults alike to laugh, wonder, and recognize their own loved ones in the most unexpected places. It's a tender tribute to the messy, magical, monster-sized love that makes every family special.
