Vassie in Florespark

Vassie's biggest adventure yet: the whole city. Vassie in Florespark—the third and final volume of Eric July's rhyming picture-book series, illustrated by Matteo Lucchetti.

Vassie is taking a tour of Florespark—the heart of the Rippaverse—and she's noticing everything. The heroes who protect the city. The landmarks with stories behind them. Even Dorsett's Pawn Shop, where her uncle Avery worked as a young man. A rhyming guided tour through the eyes of a curious girl who never stops asking questions, full of friendly cameos young readers will someday meet again in the wider Rippaverse. Florespark itself is the star: the city at the heart of nearly every Rippaverse story, seen fresh through the eyes of its most observant resident.

The third and final volume of the Vassie picture-book series, following Vassie and the Mightiest Thing (9/15/26) and Vassie Sees Everything (10/13/26)—all three on sale together by this book's release, making a complete read-aloud set for ages 3-5. The characters in Vassie's world are named for Eric July's own ancestors, including his great-great-great grandfather Isom—a family tribute three books deep, and a series finale that sends Vassie off the way she arrived: curious, brave, and surrounded by people who love her.

From Rippaverse founder Eric July, creator-writer of the Vassie series, with illustrations by Matteo Lucchetti (Italy) and colors by Felipe Felix. 32 pages, Rippaverse Backyard.
