📖 Still
✍️ Author: Katey Howes
🎨 Illustrator: Ashling Lindsey
👍👍👍👍👍

“Still” felt like a modern-day version of “The Giving Tree” with a more positive, uplifting spin. It’s a beautiful story about unconditional love, connection, and being someone’s constant in a world that never seems to stop changing. Some of the pages really resonated with me, and I think the message is just as meaningful for adults as it is for little readers.

And can we talk about the illustrations?! Ashling Lindsey’s artwork is absolutely breathtaking and perfectly complements the heartfelt message. One of my favorite lines was, “If you need someone to store the sun ’til you come out to play…” Seriously, how beautiful is that?!

This is one of those picture books that deserves a permanent spot on the bookshelf.
