Following up on Ten-Word Tiny Tales to Inspire and Unsettle, this book focuses on love, warmth, and adventure. Each page features a ten-word story with a complimentary page designed by a different illustrator. While the text is just a fragment of a story, it allows for imaginative expansion by the reader. The illustrations are lovely (check out Jon Klassen’s ghosts!!), and the coziness of the book could lead to some wonderful bedtime reading. There are directions in the back to help the reader create their own stories,  which would translate well into a storytelling lesson for younger students.
