Product Description
 
In The Cool Bean, we meet a bean who used to hang out with “the cool beans” — but lately, he feels like he’s just a has-bean. He stumbles through his days: feeling awkward, out of sync, like everything he tries to do to be cool is… uncool. But then something unexpected happens: the “cool beans” step in, show kindness, and help him see that being yourself — and being kind — is the real kind of cool.

With vibrant, expressive illustrations and playful humour, Jory John and Pete Oswald turn a story about feeling excluded into one about belonging, self-acceptance and what it means to have other people’s backs. The narrative is accessible and engaging for kids aged 4 to 8 — making it friendly for read-alouds, bedtime routines, and meaningful gift books. 
 
Whether you’re looking to add it to a child’s personal library, include it in your series of thoughtful schooling-age reads or gift it as a meaningful milestone book, The Cool Bean strikes a balance between fun and deeper values in a way that parents appreciate.
