The Cerritos Library is awesome! Not only does it have an impressive selections of books but there's also a gigantic aquarium, lighthouse, spaceship, T-rex skeleton and more. This was such a fun Saturday adventure!

Check out this magical companion to Josh Funk’s DEAR DRAGON! It’s a charming pen pal adventure featuring two awesome artists, an upbeat unicorn, and cute kitties. (How can you beat that?) Charles Santoso’s bright and cheerful illustrations are the icing on the cake!

As luck would have it, the water behind this pelican was in a dark shadow and created a cool contrast.
I love these peculiar birds!

Brilliant idea! And my mentor, Josh Funk, shared a fabulous list of indie bookstores from around the US if you need a recommendation.
