Booktalk: In this 110 page illustrated story about sibling rivalry, a child runs away from home — waits in a box for some new parents. (Spoiler alert! At the end of the day, when her parents pretend they need an older sister for their new baby, she is ready to leave her box and go happily back home.)

I Cannot Draw a Horse
by Charise Mericle Harper (Author / Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop
Booktalk: A simple “nothing shape” becomes a cat, a squirrel, a beaver, a bunny, a dog, a turtle, and a bear. But what about a horse? The cat really wants a horse. But . . . the book cannot draw a horse. Can the quick-drawing narrator appease the horse-obsessed cat with an impressive collection of horse-y alternatives (all created from the same “nothing shape”)? Or will the cat finally get a horse?
