Illustrated by Erin E. Stead Published by Neal Porter Books ★ ”This tale has all the hallmarks of a family classic.”—Kirkus Reviews, ★ ”Throughout an expedition in which nothing goes quite according to plan, satisfaction lies in the quality of seemingly limitless time the two bears share, a perception underscored by images that convey meditative calm. —Publishers Weekly

Illustrated by Renata Liwska Published by Neal Porter Books ★“In yearning text, Hest (Sometimes It’s Nice to Be Alone) captures the way time can move slowly when someone’s on their own, the way an attentive presence can meet needs, and the sense that Bunny is learning to love well by mirroring Dad’s words and actions.”—Publishers Weekly ★“Quiet and reassuring, though laced with humor, the book strikes the perfect tone for bedtime reading, exuding comfort and joy..."

Illustrated by Philip C. Stead Published by Neal Porter Books ★ "The text is simple and eloquent, with enough repetition to captivate the youngest readers but also with precise, often lyrical, descriptions for each activity. . . . A sparkling reminder that nothing is as powerful as a child's imagination."--Kirkus Reviews ★ "A celebration sure to delight introverts everywhere. . . ."--School Library Journal
