pickPeanut has their own way of doing things. And that‘s OK! Even when things go wrong, they manage to turn them around and make the best of an iffy situation.
A joyous little book with they/them pronouns, a cute character, and fun pictures - but probably not the most memorable.

pickThis was a fun and delightful bit of twist, mind-bending interlinked short stories. It starts with a mix up where a man gets his first cell phone and begins receiving phone calls for a famous movie star. It then tears off in other directions and touches on what is fact and fiction. While the tone is consistent, no two stories are similar, despite the connections. Fun!
pickSuper short, provocative book about a man‘s attempt to erase himself and his entitlement as a white, middle class American man. What‘s he running from? What is his agenda? Definitely a book that made me think. It also made me a little paranoid. Thanks for the recommendation @Lesliereadsalot
pickOk…this one is strange. The nameless narrator is on the run with $168,000 in cash and not much else. Who is he? What is he running from? Where is he going? It‘s a short book, but the answers appear close to the end. Hard to put down and a weird conclusion. I liked it though and I found its strangeness rather interesting.
pick4 ⭐ Susan Verde and Peter Reynolds are a bestselling team for a reason. Their books are colorful and heartfelt and have an important message that all kids need to hear. The message in this book is that “I am me” no matter what. That everyone is different and that‘s exactly the way it should be. That everyone is unique and have the things that make them special. And that no matter who you are or how you look or how you act I am me and you are you

panThis was just not for me. It was slow to get anywhere. I hated the characters. I felt like it just went in circles to go nowhere. Just not a fan of this one. Definitely a pass for me.
