Description

It's time to find a place to sleep. Rokko the baby raccoon is sure he can find the perfect spot. He doesn't need help from anyone, especially not his mommy. But when he finally does find the perfect spot, something is missing... what could it be? Perhaps someone to snuggle with?

Praise for the Simply Small Series:

"...just perfect for the youngest readers" (ABC Best Books for Children)

"Opal uses vibrant onomatopoeic language, such as "swoosh," "thump," and "splash," which makes reading aloud to children fun" (CM review)

About the author

I am a Dutch-Canadian artist, author, and designer. I love creating stories that encourage inner resourcefulness, compassion, and self-empowerment. I have been a professional graphic designer for over 15 years, working on a wide range of projects from corporate marketing to themed attractions. I also illustrate and paint in a number of styles. My first book deal (for "One Little Bug") resulted from an art show at which some of my illustrations were noticed by the publisher Simply Read Books. Under the pen name Paola Opal, I illustrate and write the Simply Small series, published by Simply Read Books. Bold and bright, these board books feature baby animals that find clever ways to solve their not-so-small problems. The series has over 50, 000 books in print and two of the titles have been produced as apps.
