If you’ve ever felt like the best way to find yourself is to get a little bit lost on a trail, this is your book. Triolo  a philosophical memoir that challenges our culture's obsession with "getting to the top." The book is structured around three major "revolutions" that serve as deep meditations on life, grief, and the environment: journeys around Mount Kailash in Tibet, Mount Tamalpais in California, and the Berkeley Pit in Montana. It’s a beautiful exploration of movement and stillness that feels like a long, deep breath—perfect for reading by the fire while the January rain does its thing outside

Scott Campbell (you might know his Hug Machine) has created a wonderfully off-the-wall graphic novel for early readers whose premise is delightfully simple: one friend has a cabin on his head, the other has a tree. The logic doesn't matter as much as the heart; these are stories about supporting each other's wildest ideas—like digging for treasure without a map or having a "hello" contest. It’s the kind of book that celebrates the freewheeling creativity of how kids actually play, with watercolor-bright adventures about friendship that feel irrepressible. What a burst of joy. Already read over and over (and over) in my household.
