As soon as the sun comes up, they slip into shorts and sunsuits and run outside to enjoy an abundance of cozy activities, whether it’s putting up a playhouse, snacking in the strawberry patch, partaking in a picnic, or napping in a leafy nook. And when the day heats up, who can resist cooling off in a sparkling swimming hole before drying off in a cozy sun-kissed towel. When the sun disappears from the sky, it’s time to gather round the campfire to share stories and marshmallows and fall asleep under the stars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEliza Wheeler’s enchanting illustrations capture all the magic of long summer days outside, and readers will feel right at home as they pore over each and every cozy, comforting scene.“The animals of Acorn Village enjoy a busy summer day full of quintessential warm weather activities. In \u003ci\u003eA Cozy Winter Day \u003c\/i\u003e(2024), the villagers modeled the hygge life, but summer brings with it plenty of opportunities for coziness, too. . . . The highlight of the day comes with a lazy trip down the babbling brook to the Otters’ swimming hole—brought to life in an especially captivating image that sees the animals in floaties, on paddle boards, and swinging off ropes into the water. . . . Wheeler’s text is soothingly matter-of-fact, but the book’s real appeal lies in her detailed illustrations, which offer plenty for readers to linger over. The visuals have a retro vibe; no devices are to be found, and one DIYer even churns her own ice cream. The wonderfully lazy feeling of summer comes through on each page, particularly those tired and sun-soaked moments that manifest only after a day of heat and fun. . . . As cheery as a sunny afternoon.” —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003eEliza Wheeler (WheelerStudio.com) wrote and illustrated \u003ci\u003eA Cozy Winter Day\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHome in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eMiss Maple’s Seeds\u003c\/i\u003e and has also illustrated several picture books (including \u003ci\u003eThis Is Our Baby, Born Today\u003c\/i\u003e by Varsha Bajaj and \u003ci\u003eWherever You Go \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eWhen You Are Brave\u003c\/i\u003e, both by Pat Zietlow Miller) and novels (including Newbery Honor winner \u003ci\u003eDoll Bones\u003c\/i\u003e by Holly Black).
