Author and illustrator of The Sueño Bay Adventure Series, Mike Deas, brings to life the story of young Mia through expressive artwork in This Plant Is NOT Boring (Orca $21.95) for ages 6-8, due out in April 2025. Mia wants a dog, but her mom suggests starting with a plant. Initially, Mia finds the plant dull—until it unexpectedly eats her sandwich, then her stuffed lion! When she tries locking it in the bathroom, the plant leaves a message in lipstick: “Plants are NOT boring!” As it devours more of her belongings, Mia realizes that how she cares for the plant affects its behavior. By giving it proper attention, Mia discovers that her unusual plant might just become a wonderful companion after all. Written by Marie Hoy-Kenny. 9781459839076
