Happy Pub Day to Debbie Fong’s The Faraway Forest: Hester’s Big Dream
Celebrating the publication of The Faraway Forest: Hester’s Big Dream by Debbie Fong, with colors by Kayla Catanzaro, out today from Chronicle Books! This early reader graphic novel is perfect for fans of Owly, Donut Feed the Squirrels, and other sweet-natured, cozy stories featuring charming animals.
Hester the owl has just moved to the Faraway Forest. She rises at sunset and spends her nights dancing, cooking, writing, and making costumes, but she wonders whether there are new friends to be made while the sun is out. Can she stay awake long enough to find out? Or will the forest night turn out to be more magical than she imagined? Either way, Hester is in for an adventure in this follow-up to The Faraway Forest: Wally's Route.
Early Praise
