My Perfect Pet, What Will I Get?

Nic has permission to pick a pet — and no idea how to choose. A puppy bites his shoes. A kitten runs from his hand. A parrot won't let him sleep. Underneath the rhyme is a skill most picture books skip: how to weigh what you actually want and choose for yourself.

The next one

A new picture book from NovaSeed Kids is in development. Same standard as the first: a real idea underneath the story, artwork made for this book and no other, and an ending that gives a child something to carry out of it.

Want to know the day it lands? The list below is the only place we'll announce it.

For Grown-ups

What we're actually trying to do.

Respect their intelligence

Children notice when a book is talking down to them, and they stop listening. Simple language, real ideas — those aren't opposites.

Built to be read aloud

Rhyme and rhythm are written for the adult's mouth, not just the child's ear. If it's awkward on the fourth reading, it isn't done.

Something to talk about after

Every title leaves a question on the table. The book ends; the conversation between you and your kid doesn't have to.
