June Happy Book Birthday

We have one very special book celebrating its release in June. Read on to discover the latest and greatest naptime picture book, perfect for lounging in the summer sun!

New Picture Book

The Fluffy Futon authored and illustrated by Yuichi Kasano

Grandma spreads her newly washed futon to dry in the sun. The futon is so soft and smells so clean! The cat can’t resist nestling down for a snooze. Instead of chasing it away, Grandma settles in alongside, soon followed by the hen and her chicks, a little boy, the dog, the goat, and the pig family. . . . Soon the whole household is taking a nap! Until Grandma starts to find the futon so comfy that no one else can fit. With irresistible illustrations of a cozy pile of funny sleepers, The Fluffy Futon is both encouragement for bedtime and laugh-out-loud funny.
