In 2007, this story, titled just One more Little Minute, became her first published children's book, now followed by SHE IS SO RUDE!

In JUST LIKE YOU, Makeda Ten? is so excited! She is on a lunch date with her grandmother (Grand-Ma'Lady) at Legendary Dining Restaurant. But she cannot believe what she is seeing people actually doing, especially to her table server, Ms. Sara. What can Makeda do to make things better?
