No.12 “The Longest LetsGoBoy” by @derickwilder.bsky.social and #CatiaChien A truly beautiful story of losing a beloved pet, told from the pets perspective. It’s warm and beautiful as it takes in that final walk. A lovely #UnderthedustJacket that captures that moment of freedom.

Huge fan of #RyanTHiggins his #UndertheDustJacket covers are brilliant I absolutely love his books. They are brilliantly funny and a joy to read and and share #PicturebookPage
