Solicitation:
Join Pia as she explores a forest, plays pranks on her dad, and even makes a surprise friend in this young graphic novel for fans of Bluey and Calvin and Hobbes. There are sounds that only exist deep in the woods: the low rumbling inside fallen trees; the tiny tck-tck-tck of a bustling ant colony; the woosh of bird wings in the wind. And Pia and her Dad are determined to record them all! But in her rush to explore, Pia quickly gets lost. With the help of a new friend Quinn, Pia resolves to find her way back to dad using the sounds of the forest . . . after she and Quinn build fairy houses and play some games, of course. With warmth and humor, David Bruggink has created a lovably impish character with Pia and a forest world filled with waterfalls and creatures. A color palette of soft greens and blues with simple paneling makes this a cozy read for any afternoon. Back matter includes more information on field recording, how to build fairy houses, and more.
