A menagerie of six whimsical creatures, each absorbed in books and reading, clusters across a soft gray background rendered in warm earth tones and gentle blues. A spiky hedgehog clutches a tall stack of volumes, a bear settles with an open book, a red octopus balances multiple texts across its tentacles, a penguin hunches over a page, a crocodile grips a tome, and a chicken pecks at a sheet, creating a playful celebration of literacy across species. In a child's bedroom, library, or classroom to inspire a love of reading. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
