Yesterday she started tidying her toys without being asked.
Then she told me — “cleaning gives me zen.”
She’s three. And I knew exactly which book she’d been thinking about.
Zenguin is a gentle little story about a penguin learning to find his calm from the friends around him.
She didn’t quote the book. She just made it her own.
Sometimes a book quietly becomes part of who they are.
Save this for the little one in your life who could use a bit of zen.

🍃 This year, Earth Day falls during National Library Week: a perfect pairing to celebrate both our beautiful planet and the beautiful people who connect us with books that inspire curiosity and compassion!
I love this librarian/media specialist endorsement of I Am Not Happy! and I hope mine and @sydwiki ’s book encourages both a love of animals and conservation, and thoughtful discussions about feelings, big and small. Never judge a quokka by its cover! 🌍 📚 🐾 🇦🇺 ❤️🍃

Happy (as usual, slightly belated!) book birthday to “Goodnight, Escargot”, written by the wonderful @princessamanita !
In this newest adventure, Escargot is hosting a pajama party and doing his absolute best to stay awake for it.
One of my favorite parts of illustrating this series is sneaking in visual puns and finding ways to work snails into everything. I love that Escargot lives in a world of repurposed human objects, while somehow still having access to tiny sporting goods stores and bookstores.
If you’d like to add this one to your library, the link is in my stories! And for my Sierra Madre friends - a set of four Escargot books (including this one) plus a MerryMakers plush is currently up for auction at SME’s annual silent auction, along with lots of other amazing items. That link is in my stories too!
Behold, Escargot (the most adorable snail you’ll ever meet) is on his fifth adventure in this picture book series from Dashka Slater and artist Sydney Hanson! 🐌
See what Escargot is getting into now as he stays up toute la nuit . . . the perfect bedtime read for you and your little ones at home 💙

Head over to Betsy Bird’s @fusenumber8 blog (link in my bio) to see the spectacular cover of I AM NOT GRUMPY!, written by me and illustrated by the one and only @sydwiki .
We can’t wait for you to meet our misunderstood rain frog, who wants everyone to know that she’s actually a very amiable amphibian (don’t judge her on her RFF, or Resting Frog Face!) But even this sulky sweetie has her limits…
