This creative how-to story is equal parts picture book and graphic novel, teaching young readers the art of looking serious even if reading a not-so-serious book. It's silly, lighthearted, and encourages kids to read what they want. Thank you to @owlkids.bsky.social for sharing this book with us.

With themes of anger and friendship, this book follows Bear and her forest friends as they attempt to move the mountain that is blocking the sun. This charming story with expressive artwork can start conversations about problem solving, pivoting when needed, and the power of teamwork.
