Twenty Yawns blog tour + giveaway


Today we are celebrating the publication of a wonderful new picture book from author Jane Smiley and Caldecott honor illustrator Lauren Castillo. It is the perfect, gentle picture book to read to your wee ones (or your big ones) at bedtime. It's a book that reflects the satisfaction of crawling into bed after a long, hard day of play, which perfectly complements with Lauren Castillo's signature illustration style of thick, bold lines paired with soft, serene colors. But don't take my word for it. See what a kid has to say about Twenty Yawns:
