Leave Me Alone! by Vera Brosgol is one of my new favorite picture books for 2016. It's funny, original and has a great message. The art is wonderful and jam packed with highly colorful detail. A must read for anyone who enjoys their space when working on projects--especially knitters and crocheters--introverts and grumpy ladies.
You may recognize Brosgol's art style from her graphic novel, Anya's Ghost, also a highly recommended read. She is definitely an illustrator to keep an eye on! For more Vera Brosgol, check out her website, it's lovely.

About the Author
Casey buys books for ICPL's youngest readers. However, she enjoys reading books of all shapes and sizes. You can find her at the Children's Desk, out and about at one of our area preschools, or providing in-house programming like StoryJAM.
Touching and beautifully rendered in grayscale with occasional splashes of pink, this is a love story for everyone. If you have yet to be kicked to the curb by Laura Dean, it might be time to get dumped. -Casey
