The funniest (and totally not boring) picture book about a log that has ever existed, full of scientific facts and delightfully silly storytelling

What's so special about a log? It just sits there and does nothing. How boring! However, you may be surprised to learn that logs are anything but boring--they are an essential part of life in the forest. Logs provide shelter, become food, and even turn into a safe place for a new tree to grow.

Told with humor and heart, I Am Not Boring shows how an old log is not, in fact, boring at all. This endearing, goofball picture book by author-illustrator Lena Podesta is subversive humor at its best. Factual back matter about log lifecycles is also included. While readers are giggling along, they're learning about the importance of ecosystems--and believing in themselves.
