Leyla by Galia Bernstein
Leyla is sick of her big, loud, overbearing family. They are always chatting, snuggling, and grooming each other (ew!), and-for Leyla-there's no escape from their attention. So, she decides to run away until she can't hear (or smell) her baboon troop anymore. In the middle of her desert habitat, she finds a lizard sunning himself. Unlike her family, the lizard loves to sit alone, be quiet, and do absolutely nothing at all. Leyla joins the lizard, and after soaking up some quiet time, she feels recharged and ready to return home to her large, ever-doting family. Now that she knows where she can always find a little peace, Leyla can embrace the chaos and the kisses with open arms. From the celebrated author-illustrator ofI Am a Cat, Leyla shows kids how to appreciate both the wild and the mild.
“For many of us, including children, life is so busy that we often need respiteGalia Bernstein’s Leyla is a picture book about finding that: a young baboon in a big family is overwhelmed by fuss and noise until she meets a lizard who tells her how to feel the sun and the breeze and to listen to insects. Then she enjoys the boisterousness of her family, but knows she can find space. Lively, humorous drawings make this idea unpreachy.” -- The Sunday Times - Culture
