What if everything you dream is actually possible?
⁠
Why Not? by Kobi Yamada is an encouraging picture book for kids and grownups too.. It’s an openhearted invitation to be bold, to dream wildly, to believe in the magic of who you are and all you can become.⁠
⁠
Beautifully illustrated by Gabriella Barouch, this follow-up to Maybe reminds us that someone out there is going to do something extraordinary, so why not you?
⁠
⁠
Save this for the little dreamers in your life or for yourself, when you need a reminder that you’re capable of something miraculous.

Why Not? is available now wherever books are sold. #compendiumliveinspired #kobiyamada #kobiyamadabooks #kidsbookswelove #kidsbookshelf #kidsbookreview #hereweeread #booksforkids

We recently went on a literary road trip to Kent, CT to check out Kent Falls State Park. We had lunch by the waterfall then made our way to House of Books @houseofbooksct and the charming Kent Memorial Library @kentmemoriallibrary. They are both a short 7-minute drive from the park and full of charm and stories waiting to be found.

Start your weekend with tea in one hand, a book in the other, and zero plans to leave the couch.

Because sometimes the best kind of weekend is the one where you don’t move unless it’s to flip a page or refill your mug. No alarms. No pressure. Just you, your current read, and a cozy corner calling your name.

The early years are everything. #brandadvocate

From reading books to learning through play, those first few years shape who a child becomes. But today, nearly half of pre-primary-aged kids aren’t getting the early education they need.

That’s why Theirworld created the Act for Early Years campaign, to push for global investment and make sure every child has the best start in life gets the chance to thrive from the very beginning.
