A book cover with a mouse carrying books.

ALL THE BOOKS written by Hayley Rocco and illustrated by John Rocco

As a husband and wife team who understand books, Hayley Rocco composes an engaging story that’s expressively illustrated by John Rocco, ALL THE BOOKS. Piper Waterstone is a small mouse with a large passion for books, one that produces a greed for collecting, an unwillingness to share and a snobbery that she will never go to a library. The creative team pictures her dilemma when she amasses so many books, hauling them causes an accident and, of course, “it was right then that it started to rain.” Fear for her books guides her to meet a kindly librarian who introduces her to a building that is “warm and dry and smelled cozy, like wood with a hint of vanilla.” A lovely tale about the magic of books, libraries and collective ownership.
