Announcing the release of "Why Not?", the newest book by New York Times bestselling author Kobi Yamada and illustrator Gabriella Barouch. This title is the follow-up to the beloved book "Maybe."
A Magical Tale That Encourages Readers to Embrace Their Rare and Wondrous Life
SEATTLE, June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Compendium is excited to announce the release of "Why Not?", the newest book by New York Times bestselling author Kobi Yamada and illustrator Gabriella Barouch. This title is the follow-up to the beloved book "Maybe." Like its predecessor, "Why Not?" combines fantastical illustrations and uplifting words to create a timeless tale for readers of all ages.
Yamada's newest title follows an inquisitive child and an adorable arctic fox. Together they embark on an adventure that spans mountains, seas, and skies. Along the way, they encounter a menagerie of magical creatures and awe-inspiring views. The journey is not without its obstacles, but each step illuminates the world's wonders, and reminds the young protagonists of the wonder within them too.
"My hope is that 'Why Not?' will inspire readers to stretch their dreams, expand their courage and broaden their expectations for their lives," says Yamada. "We all matter more than we know, and we all have a role to play in shaping a better world. And, of course, as with any book that I have written, it is always my hope that it will help to spark a deeper conversation about our possibilities."
This book adds to Yamada's growing collection of inspiring children's books–including the award-winning "What Do You Do With…" series. Recently, his titles "What Do You Do with an Idea?" and "Because I Had a Teacher" spent a combined 76 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers List (June 9, 2024). He also serves as the president and CEO of Compendium.
Publisher's Weekly calls the newest book "a broadly inspirational quest that unfolds spread by spread, asking, 'Why not leave this world a little better than you found it?'" The book is available now on live-inspired.com and Amazon.
