ZOMBIE AND BRAIN ARE FRIENDS
@grubreport.bsky.social @LaanCham.bsky.social
First of all…I ❤️ zombies. But this is also a fun story about unlikely friendships and every kid who brings a surprise “pet” home to their parents. The awesome brain puns are a bonus!

Beautiful art and fun slice of life story as two spunky kids join Mom for a looooong day of errands around town. Oh-so relatable for kids and parents trying to find fun in grown up places.

So excited to find this at the library this week!
Agree with @colbysharp.bsky.social and Travis Jonkers from The Yarn podcast - it is a master class in simplicity, humor and heart. And, oh my gosh, the cat is hilarious!
