4 STARRED REVIEWS! • Join adorable hedgehog Bean in the first picture book of a new series full of tiny stories about big everyday adventures that will warm quills — and tickle funny bones!

Meet Bean, a very tiny hedgehog. She loves ghosts, swings, and a stuffed toy called Clem.

Meet Bean’s grandma. She loves strawberries, sweaters, and tiny Bean burritos.

And they both love stories.

In ten tiny stories, we follow Bean and her grandmother through the adventures of everyday. Bean loses her bad mood in a meadow and Grandma thinks she sees a ghost (don’t worry, it’s just Bean!) — and there’s even a story with giant strawberries.

This first volume in the Tiny Bean’s Big Adventures series by acclaimed author/illustrator and hedgehog friend/insider, Stephanie Graegin, is the perfect gift for little (and big) readers and hedgehog admirers everywhere.

Stephanie Graegin makes books for hedgehogs and humans of all ages. She spends her days and nights observing, recording, and drawing the adventures of her hedgehog friends and neighbors. Her picture books include Little Fox in the Forest, Fern and Otto, and The Long Ride Home. Stephanie has also illustrated numerous other children’s books, such as the Heartwood Hotel series. She lives in New York.
