The Cousin Who Competed for Grandma
A girl called Ava and her cousin both love their grandma — and somewhere along the way, loving her turned into competing for her. Who visits more. Who's the favourite. Who gets the special jobs in the kitchen. Her cousin keeps score out loud: "Grandma asked ME to help, not you." Ava finds herself competing back, even though she hates how it feels. What started as two kids who adored the same person has become a quiet contest, and Grandma — who just wants both her granddaughters around — seems a bit baffled and sad about the edge that's crept in between them.
