COZY

Jan Brett

A group of clever animals find an unusual but warm and furry home during Alaska's long winter in Jan Brett's newest snowy adventure.
Cozy is the softest musk ox in Alaska, with the warmest fur you ever did feel. When a storm hits while he's separated from his family, he starts to feel lonely--but not for long. As the snow piles up, animals start to notice just how warm and cozy Cozy really is! One mama lemming has a bright idea ... maybe the best place to spend the winter is under Cozy's fur!

As more and more animals burrow in, Cozy adds to the house rules: quiet voices, gentle thumping, claws to yourself, no biting, and no pouncing. That seems easy enough... until the lemmings, snowshoe hare, snowy owl, arctic fox, and wolverine begin to bicker. Luckily, signs of spring soon appear, and that means Cozy can find his herd and his new friends can head to their summer homes. But not before promising to get cozy with Cozy next year!

Jan Brett brings a new lovable character to life through this gorgeous tale of sharing, friendship, and living in harmony.

Jan Brett is the beloved bestselling author/artist of many books for children.

Romper (1.7 million UVPM) published a sneak peek of COZY earlier this year!: Musk oxen are the new sloths are the new unicorns, you heard it here first. Jan Brett has spent the past year painting a musk ox for her upcoming book, Cozy, named for the main character. Musk oxen, or umingmak, are an arctic animal with an incredibly soft coat of qiviot (Brett has used it to knit), and Cozy, you will see, is a character set to rival Hedgie, Brett's famous hedgehog, for popularity.

During a period in which some families are spending more time together in tight spaces, the comforting live-and-let-live message is timely.

Alaskan winters can be brutal, but not for Cozy, an incredibly furry musk ox who has no problem staying warm. When he is separated from his family, he makes some new friends that need his warmth and shelter to survive the cold winter. This tender story brings a wide variety of animal personalities to life.

Children will love the cumulative growth of an unusual home, and, as usual, the illustrations alone make this a safe bet for Brett-friendly collections.

This moving tale of gentle kindness serves as a clarion call for anyone searching for a book about creating your own community in times of trial. For readers who haven't a musk ox of their own to snuggle up with, this tale proves just as cozy.

COZY by Jan Brett is an instant New York Times Bestseller!
