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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold with humor and heart, \u003ci\u003eI Am Not Boring\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lena Podesta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ten Speed Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 9.35w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593838297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2026 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLena Podesta\u003c\/b\u003e has been working as an artist in the animation industry and as an illustrator for more than two decades.
