WOOD COULD

Tiffany Stone Mike Lowery

The hilarious team behind Knot Cannot is back, this time with the story of curmudgeonly Wood and a girl determined to be his friend.

An imaginative girl in the forest knows that the piece of wood she finds could be a unicorn or a ship or a ladder. But Wood would rather be sleeping like a log. Despite all the girl's attempts to get him to play with her and her beloved stuffed bunny, Prince Fluffybutt, Wood refuses to branch out. But when the girl really gets in trouble, Wood has to look deep within himself to see if it's possible to turn over a new leaf.

As cheerful and dynamic as a comic book... Funny details fill the page, but at its heart, the story takes on selfishness and finds a way to make everyone happy. A richly executed comedic piece, this hides tenderness in rough bark but is a real softie when it comes to charm. With funny wordplay and pacing to delight with every turn of the page, this one's a must.

This story seems all fun and games... But ultimately, the payoff is anything but trivial, as the wooden protagonist finds a warm feeling in helping another.
