Yours in Books: A Picture Book by Falatko, Julie

Yours in Books is a picture book (love?) story told in letters between a furry bookshop owner, an avid, if a bit cranky, feathered reader, and their forest friends by author Julia Falatko and illustrator Gabriel Alborozo.

Owl just wants some peace and quiet to read his books--alone. But when the forest youngsters ruffle his feathers, he enlists the local bookshop owner to send him handpicked books to help cope with the chaos and the mess. It's not long before Owl discovers Squirrel and learns that just as important as solitude are companionship and community.

Told entirely in letters, this charming picture book celebrates books and bookshops, letter writing, and love.

"A delightful tribute to books, friendship, and company." --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

"A warmly cheerful homage to how books can kindle bonds, open minds, and unite community." --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
