Everyday Bean (Tiny Bean's Big Adventures, Book #1) [Hardcover]

4 STARRED REVIEWS! • A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of 2025! • Join adorable hedgehog Bean in the first picture book of a new series full of tiny stories for ages 3 and up about big everyday adventures that will warm quills — and tickle funny bones!

Meet Bean, a very tiny hedgehog. She loves ghosts, swings and a stuffie called Clem.

Meet Bean’s grandma. She loves strawberries, sweaters and tiny Bean burritos.

And they both love stories.

In ten tiny stories we follow Bean and her grandmother through adventures of the everyday. Bean loses her bad mood in a meadow and Grandma thinks she sees a ghost (don’t worry it’s just Bean!) — and there’s even a story with giant strawberries.

This first volume in the Tiny Bean’s Big Adventures series by acclaimed author/illustrator and hedgehog friend/insider, Stephanie Graegin, is the perfect gift for little (and big) readers and hedgehog admirers everywhere.A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of the Year

PRAISE FOR Everyday Bean:

Varied in length, the tales are laced with simple yet delightful truths. . . . Graegin fills her delicately rendered, earth-toned art with charming details, as when Bean’s little quills poke between the spaces of her bike helmet. Best of all, this intergenerational tale shows how grandparents and grandkids can live happy lives, needing no one but one another. —STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviewsl#æ
