Easily one of the most precious picture books I've ever seen!!!! Clarisse is a sweet little stray who loves books, and the library calls to her. The only problem - she isn't allowed in! Lovingly illustrated, the happy ending to this book made me tear up for sure. --Jordan

A very sweet story about acceptance and expectations. When Luigi the spider was found, she thought he was a kitten! To make her happy, he pretended the best he could - prancing, purring, catching a toy bug - but it wasn't making him happy. When he gets found out and exposed as a spider, he fears rejection - but gets love instead! Beautifully illustrated and all about how the truth can be freeing and just as lovely. --Jordan

If you're shy/struggle to take up space, then you can relate to Peggy! No matter where she tries to perch, someone tries to shoo her away! Luckily, she has a strong-willed seagull friend who is ready to help. This book is a silly way to learn how to stick up for yourself. --Ashley-Nicole

A lovely little story about bicycles, cycling, and the community and freedom that can come from it. Beautiful illustrations that come with a strong message - cycling can (and should!) be welcome to everyone everywhere - and filled with hope for a less car-centric future. Made the urban planner in me extremely happy. --Jordan
