A SHELL FOR YOU AND ME

Little Crab searches for a new shell! A bigger crab scoots into the shell Little Crab finds, and leaves his own behind. The perfect one! 🐚 Maybe there’s a baby crab out there dreaming of the shell Little Crab leaves behind #pollution #PBPitch #cycle

COCK-A-DOODLE-SHH! 🐔 Little Rooster doesn’t want to wake everyone up with a morning yell, he wants it to be quiet! 🤫 The other roosters and chickens want him to play his part, but soon learn to enjoy a quiet morning instead. #DIS #OWN #sensoryprocessing #sanctuary #PBPitch #MH

@AmyRohrbaugh2 Omg my cat is named Po! (My brother spells it Poe since Edgar Allen is more sophisticated than the Teletubby he’s really named for 😅)

@JanAlyssa Love love love this! So important to introduce kids to invisible disabilities (and all disabilities) at an early age

@KellyLV39 As an animal rights activist, I hate to admit it but bunnies kind of freak me out too! Maybe the monster and I can get past it with Charlie’s help :))

[📚 Ali Marie Matthews | she/her @alimmatthews]

@affirmedmom I love this! I love a story with an “underdog” animal 🕷️

[📚 Ali Marie Matthews | she/her @alimmatthews]

@PhyllisHarris Aah so cute! I love this

[📚 Ali Marie Matthews | she/her @alimmatthews]

@JanAlyssa Thanks so much! 🐓

[📚 Ali Marie Matthews | she/her @alimmatthews]

🐓 Little Rooster doesn’t want to cock-a-doodle-do. He wants everyone else to COCK-A-DOODLE-SHH! At first, the others push him to take his turn waking everyone up📢 They learn to accept Little Rooster and celebrate a quiet, peaceful morning #DIS #OWN #sensory #sanctuary #PBPitch

🐶 Leo’s foster mom can’t wait for him to find his forever home. She tells him over and over that he’ll be HOME SOON. Adopted, returned, the cycle goes on. Buzz!📱 Is that an adoption application? #animalrescue #adoption and will her next foster Milo be Home Soon too? 🎆 #PBPitch

[📚 Ali Marie Matthews | she/her @alimmatthews]

@JanAlyssa Invisible illness is so tough. I’m also pitching #DIS #OWN, good luck!
