Happy book birthday to “The Librarian’s Stories” by Lucy Falcone and Anna Wilson!

A town is left in ruins after the bombs fall.
The beloved library is turned to ash.
Home will never feel the same.

But then one day, the Librarian appears in the square. Seated on a bench in front of the library ruins, she opens a book and begins to read aloud.

Who’s ready for something fun? 💁‍♀️

Newly re-imagined as a board book, “Follow This Line” takes you on an adventure across varying landscapes by tracing a continuous line as it zigs and zags, playfully spiraling into the shapes of animals, faces, buildings, vehicles and more, all without breaking its stride.

Adapted from artist Laura Ljungkvist’s popular picture book series "Follow the Line" (Viking, 2006-2011), "Follow This Line" introduces her clever continuous line drawings to a whole new audience!

On sale November 24th, preorder your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Follow-This-Line-Laura-Ljungkvist/dp/1576879682/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2CIT72DLGGW8B&dchild=1&keywords=follow+the+line+laura+ljungkvist&qid=1605120652&sprefix=follow+this+line+laura+%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-4
