Familiar Experience: Separation anxiety
Comic strip panels and full page spreads depict one little bird's first time out of the nest. Imagining the worst, his only reaction is a solid NOPE until momma bird gives him a snuggle and a swift boop on the bum. The illustrations are spot on in their presentation of the little bird exaggerating his fears.

Big, bold illustrations and rhythmic text make this perfect for storytimes. Although, you'll probably want to avoid a nasally drawl unless you have the accompaniment of the guitar or harmonica.

I may not have been laughing as hysterically throughout this book as her debut novel but Furiously Happy packed a more significant punch by presenting another perspective on mental illness, specifically anxiety disorders and depression.
Age: Babies
A sweet guessing game that would be perfect for an older sibling to share with baby. Lots of body identification for touching and moving with baby. Will read in storytime!

Clothing: Shoes
Bold and colorful illustrations make this perfect for storytime. Not the most ground breaking work of fiction but it gets the job done covering a common activity for children.

Surrounded by dark, murky colors, Cleo is overwhelmed with the tribbles of the real world, saddened by others making fun of her, and wants to escape it all. The darker hues and Cleo's sad demeanor in the beginning may be off-putting to adult readers but De Bruyn does not sugar-coat Cleo's perspective as an outsider and her need to escape into the refuge of her imagination.
