Synopsis
It's Saturday, and Jo has some money to spend. So she and her mom go shopping, while Dad stays at home to make lunch. But what should she spend her money on? The cookies and cakes at Mrs Tomaselli's bakery look delicious but so do the rosy red apples at the fruit stand. Jo can't decide -- she'll have to wait and see.
In the end, Jo finds a surprising and generous way to use her money which brings some unexpected rewards and the tale closes with an entertaining and ingenious twist. This is a beautifully told and sympathetic story set in the context of an interracial family and accompanied by Eileen Browne's bright, realistic illustrations that capture the happy bustle of a shopping expedition.

Review
One of those valuable resources that promotes positive attitudes towards cultural diversity. Implicit within the storyline and illustrations are clear messages celebrating difference, everyday experiences, friendship, community and families. (Early Years Educator)
Eileen Browne's illustrations bring Jo, her family and the local neighbourhood to life. Eileen captures the different skin tones, hair styles and mannerisms very well. There is so much going on in each illustration that children and adults will find lots to talk about and discuss. Wait and See should be one of the first books all children read with their parents.
