by Hannah Clarke (Author), Aki (Illustrator)

A sweet and vibrant story (for kids 3-7) about something that's all around us and has an astounding impact on our lives, even though we can't touch or see them--the power of vibes!

This sweet story follows a young girl who realizes the different ways vibes can affect our experience of the world, both passively and actively, and what happens when you start to notice all the magical energy around you.

Vibes can be a difficult concept for kids to understand, and this book immerses children in the world of vibes with simplicity and humor. It shows the negative impact bad vibes can create and the awesome power of good vibes. Bad vibes don't feel very good and tend to multiply if you let them get out of control. Good vibes can make someone's day if they are feeling down, and the power of positive vibes helps create a better, more interconnected world.

The spacious simplicity of scenes paired with the vibrant, dynamic swirls of vibes in the artwork help bring the world of vibes alive for children to explore.
