Etta Extraordinaire Goes to the White House

Etta Extraordinaire is back, and she's heading to Washington!

Etta can't think of anything more extraordinary than a field trip to the nation's presidential suite in Washington, DC. When she and her class arrive at the White House, they are faced with a decision: What activity should they choose? With the spirit of democracy in the air, the class submits their ballots and Etta's brilliant idea gets picked: a pinktastic cherry blossom party on the White House lawn.

And in 1, 2, 3, 4 steps, she plans a spectacular party, where absolutely nothing can go wrong . . . right?

In this dazzling encore to Etta Extraordinaire, Etta and her friends learn about the power of using their voices, the importance of making decisions together, and the incredible strength that lies within each of them.

Perfect for fans of Busy Betty, Grace for President, and Stella Keeps the Sun Up.
