A Little Shelf Love

Children will learn to love plants--and themselves!
In this charming botanical adventure, Poe--a long, leafy vine--finds herself among a colorful collection of kitchen shelf plants. As she admires her new shelfmates’ impressive qualities--beautiful flowers, tasty leaves, spiky arms, and even fly-catching traps--Poe struggles to see her own special gifts.
Through several stem-breaking stumbles and with gentle encouragement from her plant friends, Poe embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads her to recognize and embrace what makes her uniquely wonderful.
Perfect for children ages 3-7, this beautifully illustrated picture book:

Introduces STEM topics to children in a fun and engaging way

Delivers a powerful message about self-acceptance and celebrating our unique qualities

Provides a springboard for conversations about empathy

Presents relatable plant characters children will love

A Little Shelf Love is more than just another picture book--it’s a loving reminder for children that the qualities making them different are often the same qualities that make them special.
Let Poe and her plant friends take root in your child’s heart and blossom into a lesson they’ll carry with them as they grow.
