Super cute book! I made assumptions when I bought it based on the cover and the use of "two sheets of stickers included!" selling point, and thought it was a kids' book. It's more motivational comics for adults, however. They're super cute and have a good message, and the error is completely my fault for assuming I knew what this book was. It probably turned out better this way than what I had expected. The book is definitely worth picking up.

I really like Chibird's brand of positivity and encouragement; it's on the whole gentle (and cute!), acknowledging negative impulses but urging a softer look at oneself.

Loading Penguin Hugs is a Chibird comics collection featuring comics you may be familiar with from reposts on your social media feeds.

Not much to say about this one - the comics work better as random online encouragement than as a "read in one sitting" thing. Still, the art is cute and the messages are good.

The volume is indexed according to the type of encouragement the comics provide (self-esteem, motivation, working hard, etc.), which I thought was both unusual and nice.

Extras:

A couple show more pages of cute stickers, 18 designs in all. The pages aren't perforated, so you can't easily remove them.

This was the cutest book in the whole entire world of cute. This would be a perfect book to put in the restroom, the doctors office, or in your classroom. Sometimes we need to know that we aren't perfect, but that its okay. I couldn't have smiled more or been more happy after reading this book. Oh my goodness. Cuteness alert!
