Featured Book of the Month: Crocodiles Need Kisses Too

Written by Rebecca Colby and illustrated by Penelope Dullaghan, this delightful picture book is a heartwarming reminder that everyone needs hugs and love—even the not-so-cuddly! Through fun-to-read-aloud rhyming text, the story introduces prickly porcupines, roaring tigers, slithery snakes, and, of course, lumpy, bumpy crocodiles. While these creatures may not seem cuddly at first, they’re just as deserving of snuggles from their mamas as anyone else. With vibrant illustrations and a playful, upbeat tone, Crocodiles Need Kisses Too is a sweet celebration of love, acceptance, and finding the beauty in everyone.
