Join adorable hedgehog Bean in the first picture book of a new series full of tiny stories about big everyday adventures that will warm quills -- and tickle funny bones! Meet Bean, a very tiny hedgehog. She loves ghosts, swings and a stuffie called Clem. Meet Bean's grandma. She loves strawberries, sweaters and tiny Bean burritos. And they both love stories. In ten tiny stories we follow Bean and her grandmother through adventures of the everyday. Bean loses her bad mood in a meadow and Grandma thinks she sees a ghost (don't worry it's just Bean!) -- and there's even a story with giant strawberries. This first volume in the Tiny Bean's Big Adventures series by acclaimed author/illustrator and hedgehog friend/insider, Stephanie Graegin, is the perfect gift for little (and big) readers and hedgehog admirers everywhere.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
PRAISE FOR Everyday Bean "Varied in length, the tales are laced with simple yet delightful truths. . . . Graegin fills her delicately rendered, earth-toned art with charming details, as when Bean's little quills poke between the spaces of her bike helmet. Best of all, this intergenerational tale shows how grandparents and grandkids can live happy lives, needing no one but one another." --STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews "Earth-toned digital artwork gives the duo all the accoutrements of humans, from toys to gardening tools to matching yellow boots, and oversize natural elements, including berries and flowers, remind readers of the critters' diminutive size. . . . Whether tracing efforts to battle a bad mood or the experience of being tucked in like a 'bean burrito, ' these legume-length stories consistently delight." --STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly "In Everyday Bean, Stephanie Graegin has given a little hedgehog and her grandma the same kind of symmetry as peer friendships, but simultaneously the unique empathy and protectiveness of a grandparent, and the loving trust of a grandchild. . . . Each note in Everyday Bean resonates." --Imaginary Elevators
