For Jack the cat there is nothing better than sitting in his favorite chair and listening to his favorite music! But, today something is different. Someone else is sitting in Jack’s favorite seat! Walrus has decided it is his favorite seat, too. Neither Jack nor Walrus want to share, so they race off to find a brand new best seat. The duo try every possible seat in the house, but will they ever be able to find the very best seat? And, in the process, will they discover something even better?

Giggle along as Jack and Walrus race to find the very best spot to nap. Even more than a fun-filled, silly race to relaxation, The Best Seat is a story of an unlikely duo finding common ground, learning to share, and forging a new friendship through shared experiences. The Best Seat is written by Zach Hamilton and published by StoryBook Genius Publishing.


When someone is in Jack’s favorite seat, it will be a race to find an even better “best seat!”

Today is an exciting day. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and Landon is going to visit the Museum of Natural History with his mom. He’s heard so many things about the museum. There’s a room full of butterflies, a huge whale hanging off the ceiling, and even giant dinosaur bones. He can hardly wait to get their tickets and walk inside.

But to get to the museum, Landon will have to do something he’s never done before—something that will open an entire world, hidden right beneath New York City. In the end, Landon might learn an important lesson: That when you open your heart to the world around you, the journey can be as magical as the destination.

Touching on themes of exploration, family bonds, and enthusiasm for trying new things, Landon Rides the Subway is a warm, lighthearted ode to the joys of childhood wonder. Written by Diana Perez, illustrated by Yip Jar Design, and published by Storybook Genius.
