The Tiny Beast of South Bend invites young readers into a whimsical field guide where tiny creatures, cozy magic, and curious discoveries are waiting to be found.

Small enough to hide behind a leaf and brave enough to lead the way, the Tiny Beast is the first creature most explorers meet. But this does not mean it is easy to find. It is simply very good at finding you.

Inside this imaginative children's book, readers will discover a charming collection of tiny magical creatures who live in familiar places like brick walls, bookshelves, pencil boxes, windowsills, blankets, pillow forts, and quiet corners. Each creature comes with its own personality, habitat, favorite snack, signature sound, field notes, explorer prompts, and playful warnings.

Children will meet creatures such as the Brick-Wall Bumbler, the Bookmark Boggler, the Pencil-Tip Tinker, the Moon-Moth Moppet, and the Starblink Snuzzler. Each one brings a different kind of wonder, from hidden bravery and creativity to comfort, curiosity, imagination, and the magic of noticing small things.

Part storybook, part field guide, and part creative activity book, The Tiny Beast of South Bend encourages children to look closely, listen gently, and imagine boldly.

With richly illustrated pages, cozy nighttime scenes, playful explorer notes, and hands-on drawing prompts, this book is perfect for young readers who love magical creatures, hidden details, bedtime wonder, libraries, school supplies, blanket forts, and imaginative adventures.

A delightful gift for children, families, classrooms, libraries, and readers who believe tiny things can hold big magic.
