This slice-of-life graphic novel is set to hit shelves on June 18, 2024, and is expected to enchant readers with its whimsical portrayal of the insect world and its subtle reflections on personal growth and friendship.

In “A Pillbug Story,” readers are introduced to Millie, a thoughtful pillbug, and her diverse group of friends, including Alfie the ladybug, Ellie the dragonfly, Holly the spider, and Ruby the ant.
