A Good Place

Parents can reach for this book when their child feels a bit lonely or is struggling to find their place, perhaps in a new school or social setting. The story follows a sweet little bug who is looking for a good place to live. It tries a flower, a mushroom, and an apple, but none are quite right. Just when it feels sad and alone, it meets other friendly bugs who invite it to help build a home they can all share. With its simple, repetitive text and Lucy Cousins' signature bold, colorful art, this book is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. It gently validates feelings of loneliness and shows that belonging often comes from cooperation and finding friends.
