Dusty gets his own library card ✨

Big moment: Dusty checked out his very first book from the Phillips Free Library!! He might still dislike winter… but now that he’s discovered cozy reading adventures, he just might make peace with the snow—as long as he stays warm inside!

Interview with Martsje at Phillips Free Library ❄️

Dusty sat down with Martsje, the librarian, to learn what really happens behind the desk. Spoiler: libraries are more than books. There are storytellers, programs, makers… a whole community!

Dusty is DONE with winter ❄️ He is over the cold. He’s over the snow. He wants ADVENTURE… but preferably without frozen paws.

So Dott brings him somewhere warm and full of magic: the library! (Duh!) Turns out stories make great snow-day escapes!

Mouse and Hare has got us thinking about space — how sometimes, giving a little space can actually help friendships grow stronger!

Listen while Laurie reminds Dusty & Dott that distance doesn’t determine the strength of a friendship. It’s love, listening, and care that keep us connected — no matter where we are.

Find your way to Mouse and Hare through our link in the bio, and don’t forget to follow !

You can even message Laurie herself to receive:
- A Reading Guide for Grown-Ups (digital download)
- Coloring Pages + Puppet Cutouts (digital download)

Because every friendship deserves room to grow!

“Mouse & Hare” at the Lodge!

Our friend Laurie — the author behind Kind Wild Books — stopped by to read her brand new picture book, Mouse and Hare!

When young children first step into a world beyond their family, their learning is complex and profound. Mouse and Hare gently invites them to recognize and express emotions, advocate for their needs, and show care for others—building the social-emotional skills that help them grow into kind, confident friends.

We’re so honored to share this beautiful story with you.
