The funniest (and totally not boring) picture book that has ever existed about a log, full of scientific facts and delightfully silly storytelling.

What's so special about a log? It just sits there and does nothing. How boring! However, you may be surprised to learn that logs are anything but boring—they are an essential part of life in the forest. Logs provide shelter, become food, and even turn into a safe place for a new tree to grow.

Told with humour and heart, I Am Not Boring shows how an old log is not, in fact, boring at all. This endearing, goofball picture book by author-illustrator Lena Podesta is subversive humour at its best. Factual back matter about log lifecycles is also included. While readers are giggling along, they're learning about the importance of ecosystems—and believing in themselves.
