A bear plays the piano beautifully, but the other animals never want him to take a break. This drives the poor bear mad, and he longs to find solitude or some peace and quiet. The book has lovely black and white illustrations with some red to provide contrast.

Just a sweet story about a little bear and a big bear going on a fishing trip together.

A look at how cats can improve a life through a mysterious clinic that seems to appear and disappear. I cried at the end. 

A little girl asks her father a series of what-if questions that stack on top of each other, questioning the father's commitment to getting back to her. The illustrations are great and meant to be poured over.

This book is a quick overview of a bunch of cities and regions around the world. It gives you enough information to want to learn more, but not a ton of information in general. The illustrations are quite cute. 

Is there too much dung if you are a dung beetle? Find out in this funny picture book. 

A graphic novel about two nonbinary tweens learning to love music and deal with anxiety and perfectionism. I enjoyed it a lot. 

What a cute story! It talks about the importance of collective action through forest creatures. I enjoyed it.

An excellent read that illuminates slavery and the chaos of America.

This book is a good way to compare and contrast some basic things people do every day. It's especially helpful for children, who might think everyone does things the way they do.
