I'm also such a fan of The Bear Out There (and everything Jess Hannigan does)!! I can't believe she collaged that entire book + the lettering. It's such a fun read aloud, and as you mentioned, she pulls off the subtle nod to classics so well in this one. I'm going to have to check out Otto and the Story Tree--it looks so soft and magical.
Jess Hannigan is pretty great! Really can’t wait to see what other incredible things she puts out into the world. And yes, Otto and the Story Tree does not disappoint! Confident you will love ❤️
I'm thinking any (or all!) of those Mouse books by Alice Melvin will be perfect for giving my grandson for his upcoming birthday. Thanks for sharing about these and the others.
I just bought Melvin’s book and I am so excited for my children to see it! Thank you so much for this darling collection of stories. (And thanks to Dominika for drawing my attention to it!)
hello i’m so excited to find a fellow picture book lover!!! i recently started my substack too to relive the joy of chancing upon new picture books to love from the library, and i’m experiencing the joy here with your substack too ❤️ all the illustration styles featured here are so distinct yet equally gorgeous! looking forward to more!! (thrilled to have offhandedly talked about endpapers to see a whole ode here!!!)
Absolutely fab. Again.
